Sir John Harvey Jones
Last week I was very privileged to be present at the Memorial Service for Sir John Harvey Jones in Hereford Cathedral. As was to be expected, it was extremely well attended.
I was reminded before setting off by colleagues that there was a request to wear jazzy, flashy ties rather than a sober tie for the occasion. No sign of Peter Black to lend me one – where is he when you need him!
The addresses from former colleagues and friends for Sir John in the Cathedral were very effective in conjuring up Sir John the man - irreverent, always full of good humour, indefatigable, charming and with a totally ‘can do’ philosophy.
He was really a one off and will be massively missed.
