Even though I joined Bampton Morris after Francis retired from being Squire and became Honorary President, he was still a huge influence on myself and the team. He had a great passion for the Morris, and continued to turn up for practise to keep an eye on the standard of dancing. He was a strong leader and will be greatly missed.

He had a very simple, direct and to the point style of singing,

I hope everyone going to the Party this Saturday will still come so we can all have a drink for Francis!
