He was 16 when this picture was taken by an unknown photographer.

Massive thanks to my brother, Rocknerd, for being utterly brilliant over the last few years as our dad’s health declined; and particularly over the final difficult and stressful months. I’m very grateful to him.

My dad and I were different in so many ways, but he taught me a lot about history, art and politics - even as we disagreed about them. I once gave him a copy of Billy Bragg’s book, ‘The Progressive Patriot’. Today, I give him Billy Bragg’s song, ‘Tank Park Salute’ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx-dtJ4Oovc
