Memories of Anthony Berry

It may have been about 1964, but I remember Anthony Berry coming to Michenden Grammar School in Southgate to talk about the election, along with the Liberal and Labour candidates. Whereas the others gave the standard party rhetoric, Anthony Berry, gave a very strong talk about democracy and why we should all use our vote.

When he died, I felt that we’d all lost a real human being.

His attitude obviously shows in his daughter’s wonderful humanity of her meeting her father's killer. Her principles stand above the petty and the vindictive, that tend to come to the fore.
