Hello. My dad, Michael Hensman, was a pupil at Keighley Boys Grammar School in the 50's and he talked fondly of his time there. Unfortunately he has recently passed away and I am making a list of songs which will be played at his funeral and wake and I wondered if there was a school hymn or song that anyone remembers as it would be lovely to have some link to his school years.

Well then, Kirsty, I met him at a friend's eightieth birthday party at the golf clubhouse at Utley, a couple of years ago. We chatted for a bit, I told him about the annual KBGS reunions in which he seemed interested, giving me his card. I did contact him the following year with an invitation, but he couldn't make it. Knowing now who he was I must say I really am shocked for he seemed hale and hearty on that occasion. I am truly sorry for your loss. Doug
