My daughter asked me to officiate her wedding as the celebrant! I wrote the service - spiritual and philosophical, not religious - got an outfit and, despite worrying I would ruin everything (haha!), I pulled it off! It was in the Sky Garden at the Hard Rock Hotel in Tenerife. I found it interesting to think about what a wedding service should entail. I tried to incorporate tradition, enjoyment and a bit of thought-provoking philosophy.

I'm 55 now and have lived through a few changes in English society. I started work at 16 as a 'hoist boy' in a slipper factory, converted from a Lancashire cotton mill.

I'm not sure. I'm quiet and thoughtful, I think, and interested in people.

I ran some marathons when I was younger, and some half marathonss more recently. I love taking street pictures.
