What an interesting thread!

I totally agree with Annie and her comment about where a topic will lead.

Such sad news. Always a gentleman, and really beautiful photographs of the countryside on his walks.
My condolences to the family as well.

I agree with all these sentiments.

Beamer

Definitely for  William, but I can't see Beamer for Frank.  However I am prepared to be corrected! 

I just can't see the first letter in Frank's second occupation word as a B.   :-\ :-\ :-\   Is it?

Look at the very clear B in the word Bachelor by the same scribe, two lines below.

True, everything else is wrong . . but the pyjamas still remind me of concentration camp 'clobber'.   ;)

Theatrical sounds good.
