Some video focusing on the kidnap (and others not!) some of your may find interesting posted in 2021 of the dinner held to honour Paddy’s memory to mark the tenth anniversary of his death. Held on 24th June at the Aphrodite Taverna, London.

There were around 24 of us in attendance, including a number of notable writers: Artemis Cooper, Antony Beevor, and Alan Ogden. Former Coldstream Guards officer Harry Bucknall was also present, making a public confession which made The Times the next day.

Following requests from some of you to make a public record, here are some videos from the event which I hope you will enjoy. They are in “running order”. Enjoy!
