Paul, the tall gentleman to the far right of this picture taken in York 2008, died very unexpectedly on 30th January. I met him in Ayrshire in the year 2000 and we spent a lot of time on days out and short breaks. I know my holidays will never be the same again without him as he was a keen historian and therefore most informitive. He had a blast here in York but who would have thought this was to be his last trip. Tom to his left has had the privelege of knowing him even longer than I. I received the news whilst at work and it was very upsetting. I am keeping in touch with his sister who is looking after the arrangements. His ex wife and son are over from Paris to assist.
