but your memory lives on…
And always will. Ianthe~August 2015

In Memory of Llew Beaton Ianthe Exall

Such sad news from a treasured long-time member among our far flung poetical ranks . All our thoughts go out to his family. Like Ianthe, none of us here had met Alec but felt united by words and our shared love of this crazy game. Here’s a personal favourite of ours about a chance encounter with Bobby Charlton from Llew in 2014 .
‘Hello Bobby’ by Llew” Beaton

Llew (Alec) and I had communicated quite a lot about early S.African football etc (I lived in SA for 7 years) via facebook , which put faces to names I’ve known for 15 years on here!
I will miss his humour and insight .Do explore his poems.
