The introduction to the Grovesnor catalogue sale of the bulk of the John Forrest postal history collection. This took place in the Strand just before John and Anne left Scarcroft. The remainder of his collection was sold by Grovesnor a few hours before he passed away. John managed to buy back several items from his original sale in the intervening years!

John always liked the view from here and was interested in watching the planes coming into the airport. The ice cream van was also an attraction!

We have wonderful memories of John, and consider it a privilege to have been able to share a very small part of his fascinating life. He was always such a perfect gentleman, more interested in other people than the obstacles that life put in his way. With much love, Carolyn and Tony Pickard

Thank you for these memories, Carolyn and Tony. We know he really valued the friendship of you both and the laughs you had together. The Fry’s chocolate was also always appreciated!.

A good day out. I remember a plaque in that carriage that indicated that it ran on the Waterloo to Bournemouth line. A journey that he made often.
