So blessed to have had Alan in my life for over 60 years. He was my mentor and was always there for me . All that I have achieved in life has been influenced by his values and supported by him. When  I left Northern Ireland to study in England he was my anchor ,my safe space to be myself. I will miss his wit and humour and simply just being with him chatting about life and politics. We had many good times together, fab holidays and days out and wonderful memories to cherish. RIP my darling brother . ❤️❤️
