We were undercover in the Spuds end so had to hold it under our breath. But it sure felt like there was an extra loud rendition of HEITS tonight. He’d have enjoyed that.

I'm really very sorry to hear this news. Best wishes to his boys and their family.

I'm only yet another who became very fond of Brian through these pages, and I'm sorry that having seen him (I think) at Fulham I didn't introduce myself.

I'm grateful we got to share him a bit on here.

Really sorry to hear your news Damon. Your  dad was a great poster on here and had an unbelievable range of anecdotes. Condolences to you and your family.

Am I wrong or was it once mentioned on here that Brian often sold flowers outside the gates of Downing College, Cambridge?

My girlfriend at the time was at Cambridge, and Downing was on my route from the station to her college. I'd stop to buy her flowers from there each time I visited - when the stall was open - because it meant I didn't have to venture into the market or Sainsburys on Sidney St.

Apologies if I'm misremembering, but if not, I may have met Brian a dozen times without even realising.

It was my sister’s Farmers Market shop opposite the Catholic Church on the corner just before Downing. He helped her run it for several years in the 2010s. I don’t think anywhere else around there sells flowers - so yes, you probably did.  A man with more guises than Mr Benn. But he did especially love flowers, nature and horticulture among them.

So sorry to hear this sad news, always looked forward to catching up with his comments.
Condolences to all his family and friends.
He had a true HEITS send off by the way.

as a Cambridge man  I remember that shop very well and always used the Chinese that was a few doors down too.

RIP Brian
