Mr Baker writes:

Among many happy memories of my time at Trinity (there are some sad ones too) was when Donald Swann (of Flanders & Swann fame) was guest of honour at a School concert.  I played the piano and Stephen Meakins conducted "Requiem for the Living" written by him.  He greatly appreciated our performance and really was a most pleasant chap.  I told him that one of my daughters, having heard me speak of him, mistakenly remembered his name "Donald Duck".  I told him of this and he said "Oh it's not the first time".
