Very sad to hear of Paul’s death. So many memories of our years as South Hampstead parents, in Hampstead and in Whitstable – Paul was a wonderfully warm, generous and entertaining host, so devoted to family and such a wonderful raconteur. Securing a table at The Sportsman was a magical feat – the boys still talk about that – and Steve says he will never forget watching the Rugby World Cup with Paul.

It was  always heartwarming to see how happy you all made him and how proud he was of his daughters.
