I went to see Michael Steer do his farewell appearance in Christmas Crackers at the Guildhall, Axminster, last Friday. Such an emotional time, but one made with great mirth and warmth.

Michael, on behalf of your many fans, may I say you will be missed.

Even now, you still have the voice, the stage presence and the showmanship that we have all come to love and admire.

Have a good retirement and, maybe, one day down at the 'old bull and bush' we will all have a good sing-song.

Thank you, Michael
