Such a pity this celebration is not being held at the Gosport & Fareham Easter Festival in Hampshire the previous weekend.

Cyril was born and grew up in Gosport. He spent much of his life in in the town and it would surely have been the most appropriate place in which to stage a celebration of his life.

The Festival Organisers told me they'd be delighted to host such a celebration. Perhaps whoever is organising the London event could approach the Gosport Festival about doing something there as well?
