What an honour it was to be presented with an #OBE from Princess Anne this morning in stunning surroundings at #Windsor Castle. We chatted about the Lord @EricPickles Alderney Expert Review and the findings of the team, and her happy visit to #Guernsey & #Sark earlier this year.

Done some late-night research and discovered that the last 2 #stolpersteine installed at the same address for Samuel Simon and William Marsh in #jersey were grandfather and grandson. As Simon was Jewish, it explains why the Germans threw the book at William. π·Chris Addy
