Tim Farron and Paddy Ashdown pay eloquent tribute to David Rendel

By | Wed 18th May 2016 - 10:30 am

On BBC Radio Berkshire’s Andrew Peach show this morning there was a great tribute to David Rendel. Andrew Peach said some touching words about the many times he interviewed David. He then played a superb clip of David in full “fighting form” defending the Newbury by-pass at its 20th anniversary in January. Then Tim and Paddy came on the line and paid superb, eloquent tributes to David.

It really is a great 15 minutes of radio. You can listen to it here on BBC iPlayer at 1′ 17″.

    Astute, thoughtful, plucky, with an inspiring sense of fairness and duty. What a gem. A class act. Such a sad sad loss.
