You were a lovely man and a great friend to us all Dennis….we’ll never forget you and Hedy at our wedding in Paphos 19 years ago now. The laughs you gave us with your Jamaican wig, lingo and the other item! All on video so we can look back on how you made it a brilliant wedding reception! Never forgotten - John, Amanda and Neve Watson 💜💜💜
