It is with incredible sadness that I write about the death of John Dankworth.
John died yesterday afternoon at King Edwards hospital in London aged 82.
Last night was the Stables 40th anniversary concert which we were performing in with some of the campers and a host of celebrities. Cleo and the rest of the Dankworth family sang and played incredibly (I don't know how!) as John would have wanted them to.
The campers didn't know John had died until the end of the show when Cleo announced it but I couldn't have been prouder of them. The camps flag was flown with great pride last night, and I know John and Avril would have loved it.

What a sad but amazing day - as well as granddaughters in the concert both sons & partners were in the audience. They were very moved. Heather
