A colourful & charismatic character who I met through his equally determined & generous sister when working in London in the 1970's. Dafydd introduced me to the House of Lords (to drop off something important at a weekend) then due to various contacts had to drive people back to bunk beds in Whitehall offices when they were a bit the worse for wear, and had many other really astounding encounters when in Dafydd's company !! What a wonderful family. I spent hours with Dafydd & his father in their Clapham flat talking politics & interior decoration & the state of the world! I so admired Lord GR & had many wonderful enlightening conversations with them both - life changing in all honesty. I have only just discovered that both Ann & Dafydd have passed away, and although I have not been in contact for so many years, I am genuinely devastated to know that they have gone. I had the privilege of knowing the family & visiting them, thanks to Dafydd, at their beautiful home in Wales, and I have such fond memories of generosity, challenging and wide-ranging conversations/arguments and much laughter. My condolences & huge respect to surviving family - they will not know me, but I hope they continue the hope & unwavering spirit of the people I knew & loved .
