Farewell to Our 'enry....

As most people in Tonbridge know Henry Cooper, Our 'enry, died after a long illness on May 1st. It's always a terrible tragedy and a reminder of our own mortality when somebody as high profile as this dies. I'd have liked to have met him, and indeed had his biography in my bookshop waiting for him to wander in one day, have a chat about the day he decked Mohammed Ali, then sign his book personally to me. But alas it wasn't to be. I understand that friends and family will be saying farewell to the great man tomorrow at Corpus Christi church. I'm sure Tonbridge will be host to some boxing and sporting greats. Maybe Kevin Keegan will be there to say splash it all over for the last time....
