I would like to add a little more information regarding the sad death of Reginald Leopold.

I am very proud my grandfather, Albert Catt, taught Reg to play the violin. They were neighbours in Holloway Road, London, in the early 1900s.

My mother, Maisie, and Reg spent many happy hours as children in each other's homes.

My grandfather became leading violinist at the Empire and then the Brighton Hippodrome.

I took my mother to see Reg when he was living at Saltdean and they had loads to catch up on. A perfect gentleman. Thank goodness for memories.
