Very sad to say that my dear husband Don Pennington passed away (30/3/37-8/3/24). He was Daley's manager/MD for over 50 years. Many will remember his cheery personality, and love of life, even through illnesses. A great husband, dad, granddad, friend, colleague, and much missed by all - Liz Pennington and family.
