Phil, being taught by you for 7 years at St Albans was my absolute privilege. You were a natural teacher: engaging, funny and unfailingly kind and supportive; always praising the effort, even if the finished result needed some work!

It says a lot that - when managing the teacher collections after A Levels - some teachers had enough for a nice box of chocolates, whereas I had enough donated for you by our class of 7 skint 18 year olds to go shopping for a decent Parker pen. I still have fond memories of us gathering to give you that gift, and of seeing you speechless for the first time in 7 years!

I'm glad I managed to thank you for the support and inspiration you gave to me and I truly hope you know how much you were valued by all lucky enough to have called you their teacher. I can't begin to imagine the loss your family must be feeling right now and - though I don't know them - I am thinking of and praying for Theresa and your girls; of whom you spoke so often.

Thank you, sir. I'll miss you.

Lindsey.
