"I do not think that younger generations would tolerate a massive Brunnhilde smacking her equally massive horse smartly on the rump and flopping into the stage bonfire!"
Sir Charles Tennyson, who was born on 8 November 1879, died on 22 June this year. This is a repeat of a talk he recorded last year.
