Happy birthday to my witty, elegant, mildly melancholic father. I wish I could find the photograph that shows him in the Gobi with an eagle on his arm. This one of him, in the vast empty spaces of Mongolia, in a suit and tie, representing his country, will have to do. He'd have been 103 today. He cherished Britain and spent his life trying to keep it safe. He would be deeply unhappy about what it has become.
