Family meant everything to Albert - and he meant everything to them

When I die

Please don’t cry

At my grave

Please do not weep

For I will be asleep

To meet all again

One day

In Paradise.

Rhymes and Reasons, which was published by Kingsley Harris of the East Anglian Music Archive in 2015 which raised money for Relate.

Last week dear Albert, our King of the Blues, died at his home in Norwich at the age of 91. He leaves wife Valerie and children St John, Rosalie, Gemma, Christopher and grandchildren.

And they have shared this photograph of the last time they gathered together earlier this year at what Albert called…the last supper.
