So sorry to read of the passing of Alan. I was his PA at Collins publishers for many years and we exchanged Christmas cards, postcards and updated family news (apologies sent a card last week).
Alan was a true gentleman and a pleasure to work. Fabulous memories of him handing his trousers out of his office to allow me to sew them, rolling his flipchart paper to use as a funnel after running out of petrol and finding his beloved capri car without wheels. When he retired I presented him with a metronome which stood proudly on his baby grand piano.

Rest in peace Alan

kindest regards
