Family friend

John Degraft-Johnson, Canterbury

"We're old friends of John and Sheila and our children used to play together.

"John was the same in real life as he was on the radio - that was one of his strengths.

"I remember him at my birthday party some years back, on 5 November. John was to be found cooking potatoes on the bonfire."
