Was lovely to get this memory from Nigel Williams (son of Alan & Kate):

I remember our caravan rallies with our families. Your father passing seems like the end of an era. Michael always carried an air of authority and a personal stature that is somehow rarely seen nowadays. I do so fondly remember each of our parents and the wider caravan gang as being so important in our younger years. I like to reflect that they jointly played a cumulative role in our upbringing.
