Well our Kidd. Many thanks for being an amazing Uncle and most of all an absolutely fantastic family man. For those days out at Donington and your fabulous wit and dry sense of humour. For arguing over the scale electric at Christmas especially when you would flatten the batteries before anyone else could have a go. For the last time “good night” our Kidd. Until we meet again , see you later.
