David Nicholson's memory honoured in wine

Some 35 Reuters people honoured the memory of David Nicholson in wine and the wine of choice was a Bordeaux Supérieur, appropriately from Chateau David, Beaulieu.

A piper played a lament at Penge Congregational Church on Friday and a tribute was delivered by Nicholson’s daughter, Sarah. Bible readings were by his son Alec and brother Graeme. 

Among the mourners were Jim and Marita Anderson, Ron Askew, Richard Balmforth, Allan Barker, David and Patricia Betts, Graham Colville, Monica Cook, Sandy Critchley, David Cutler, François Duriaud, John Freeman, Robert Hart, Graham and Ann Hillier, Keith Holland, Carol Howard, Michael Hughes, Colin McIntyre, Ian MacKenzie, Bernard Melunsky, Helen Massey, Barry and Dolly May, Ernest Mendoza, Peter Millership, Nicholas Moore, John Morrison, Rick Norsworthy, Tim Pearce, Manfred Pagel, John Rogers, Bill and Lesley Saltmarsh, Len Santorelli, Paul Smurthwaite, Anthony Williams and Richard Williams.
