This is the most incredible headstone I have ever seen. Sad to have not known him with this kind of memorial!
Note the border inscription.

There is a story to tell there.
I wonder if one of the UK YouTubers such as FrogApe could be interested in creating an episode on this chap? π![]()

What a legend he was
@Natasha_Jay@tech.lgbt
I found his Times obituary. He was a hero!
"The Β£40,000 Alistair won in 1997 in a civil action against the police would later pay for his studies for the Bar."
May he rest in power.
