Daily Express 27 02 10

Post by Marian » Sat Feb 27, 2010 11:23 am

From today's Daily Express..

MONROS ARE TOGETHER AGAIN
He died 25 years ago but British singer Matt Monro's ashes have been kept at the family home in North London ever since so he could one day be laid to rest alongside his widow Mickie.
On Thursday Mickie lost her battle with cancer aged 76.
Next Friday her ashes will join those of her husband, whose hits included Softly As I Leave You and Born Free.
"Matt was the absolute love of my life" Mickie said in her final interview two months ago.
Last month saw the publication of a biography of Matt's life written by daughter Michele. She told Day & Night "Mickie was the rock behind his success. Her love and support has ensured the legacy of Matt Monro still burns brightly today."

That was a very touching article-very short -but sweet--and incredibly moving.

No Robert. He is in the book of remembrance at Golders Green Cemetery which is all anybody has been told until now.
