Henry RIP 26/12/96 to 14/6/10

Those of you who have read this column for a while will be familiar with  friend, running-mate and all-round top dog, Henry.

I have to report that sadly Henry died yesterday.

Henry started his career as a deer stalker with the Forestry Commission in Dorset and retired to the Optician Editor's house five years ago where he lived out his final days in comfort.

He was a well-known character around Great Bookham village and had many friends, young and old, four and two-legged.

He will be sorely missed.
