Verbatim (witness's words)

One of my clearest memories of Neville is from a Christmas party at my parents’. There were probably 75 to 100 people. Neville was into his cups and had this huge presence. I was around 12, and shy. I remember him beaming down at me. Meeting his eye was like looking into the sun.
