Raising A Pint To Eddie

This photo was taken in 1997 and is of myself, my dad in the middle and my youthful grandfather who is waving to the camera. It is the last picture I have of him and the one that has been printed in several newspapers over many years.


For eighteen years ago this bank holiday I lost my grandfather. He died in horrific circumstances, as he was the victim of a burglary gone wrong. A gang broke int
