“My mum is in her late 70s. Her name was Janice Xanthou. She recalled he was very quiet, and lived in Primrose Hill with his mother. A very pleasant young man.
She said that when they were very young - about 13 years old, in their first class, about 1950/51 - she once went to the pictures with him, at a cinema near Primrose Hill. He had asked her out on a 'date' but dating then wasn't as it is now.
This is a photo of her school dance at Haverstock Hill School in 1953/54; Michael is in the very background. They were both captains of their class!"
