"This photo was taken at my older brother David’s wedding in early 1975 and is of my beautiful mother Mavis and father Bob Balfour. Mum, unfortunately, died later that year of breast cancer so this is one of the last good photos of her. I was a bridesmaid and can be seen in the background. I was 15 years old. I’m now 62."
