I READ with interest the article about the late speaker Dr Horace King.

Just after the war, when I was a child I went to a few children’s parties organised by the local Labour Party at Swaythling.

I can remember one at Bassett Green Junior School when Dr King came to see and entertain the children and I am sure he played an accordion as well as the piano.

I wonder if anyone else can remember this.
