  1. This is absoloutely amazing, my father and grandfather are amazed at what he done as Charles was my great grandfather and father to Geoffrey and my father is Hugo, we have quite a few items left of Charles and we always are amazed to see them

    1. How lovely! I recently spoke to the RCP about his work with Aneurin Bevan, and loved getting to know more about his strategic acumen as a negotiator!
