I have been out of the country for the past three months and so have just heard of the very sad death of Steve Langston.
It is many years since I first met his elder brother, John, while we were both serving in the Royal Air Force.
Steve was quite young in those days but we have occasionally kept in touch since then and it can only have been last year I was speaking to him on the phone seeking a telephone number.
What a shock Steve's death must have been for Jennifer and for the whole city. John tells me the funeral service was a splendid occasion, both of remembrance and thanksgiving.
