I've just found this obituary today with sadness. RIP Betty. I will forever be grateful to Dr Tanham for giving me one of the best ever story tips when I worked for The Sunday Sun. He just told me to be at a local meeting and the Bishop of Durham arrived - swearing in Latin! The story ran for weeks.
