Derek Jameson R.I.P.

I just read that the former broadcaster Derek Jameson has passed away aged 82. I remember him well on BBC Radio 2 in the eighties on his programme.

I remember him very well too--I believe his style was quite unusual to start with, But once we got used to him, George and I listened every morning---he also did some programmes with his wife too--then they both seemed to vanish off the airwaves.

Sad to hear that Derek Jameson has died. Like our Matt he was another Eastend boy brought up in impoverished circumstances and made good.

I knew Derek when he recorded his show from BBC Scotland studios in Glasgow. I photographed him in the studio one night and he so kindly made them into his Christmas cards (500 copies) that year with my moniker included. God Bless Derek. A very kind and lovely human being. Derek Jameson R.I.P

After their show in Glasgow they retired to Brighton.
