The sun shone and the Autumn colours began to tint the trees with their glorious seasonal colours as members of the Twickenham Conservative Association gathered for the unveiling of a bench in memory of Alderman (Councillor) Geoffrey Samuel in Radnor Gardens, Twickenham.

Joined by Geoffrey's widow, Lona, the group were reminded by our Parliamentary Spokesman, Jonathan Hulley, of Geoffrey's long and dedicated service to the local community both as a headmaster and a councillor.  Geoffrey was a true gentleman and a gentle man.

The bench itself is made from Welsh oak and has been positioned in Radnor Gardens with a view of the River Thames.  it was commissioned and paid for by members past and present of the Twickenham Conservative Association.

Afterwards, the assembled group enjoyed a glass of champagne in Geoffrey's honour.  We feel sure he would of approved!
