@XChiefMI6 @FCDOGovUK Sorry for your loss, Richard. May you take pride in his life well lived, and comfort from his peaceful death.

On Saturday, I lost my beloved dad. He died peacefully; his adored partner Pat, his sons and daughters-in-law at his side. Joined @FCDOGovUK as 16 yr old clerk in 1945, 11 overseas postings. Photo taken on day of my farewell at Lancaster House on 26 Sep. RIP John Moore ❤️
