Rae never expressed much interest in sailing but in July 2018, in the middle of a heat wave, she decided she’d like to join her brothers for a weekend on the Solent with us. She took to it, and here she is looking very confident at the helm. It was a wonderful weekend and a very precious memory. (Later in the afternoon this photograph was taken, I crashed the boat into the pontoon whilst trying to berth – on account of Rae not knowing which was her left and which was her right!)…

I stayed with Kate, Rob, George, Beatrice and Minnie over a 2-3 years when travelling down to London on business and was lucky enough to overlap with some of the time Rachel was living with them in Streatham. The bond between Rachel and Kate was there to see, and the love the children had for Rachel and her for them would leave me with a warm glow before heading out for my day of work. Rachel was simply part of the family. Rachel was most definitely happy in Streatham. She was loved and I feel honoured to have known her. She left her mark on many of us….

This is Rachel with Jocelyn aged about a couple of days old. Rachel was annoyed that Jocelyn wouldn’t wake up because she wanted to play with her. We know this because Rachel told Jocelyn this on a number of occasions, always smiling and laughing when she told the story. …

Me, issy, hermy and Rachel practising for Katie’s wedding. I remember how beautiful she looked in her blue dress. I remember looking at her bright blonde hair with flowers in and thinking she was just the best thing ever. ❤️…

Dear dear Rachel lived with us for a year when she first moved to London. She was the most extraordinary cousin and niece. This corner of our house belonged to her and my children. Baking away, making more mess than imaginable but loving every minute and laughing together. Oh how we will miss her – there are not enough words, and yet there are a million words I want to say. I think this might be the first memory of many to post. …
