We first met Anne about twelve years ago on the ‘ponton’ of the Majestic Hotel in Cannes, a place dear to her heart. She was sunbathing in a smart bikini, a cool drink to hand. Our name for her became Annie de Bruges. She was always so neat and elegant, so lively and such good company. We shall greatly miss her, and wish we could be with you all to say our farewell properly.
