Mr Ryan was a lovely man. We had our chats when he came over to Eileen's. We would talk about our tortoise - he used to come and see him in the garden. Mr Ryan (or 'John', he said to call him) told us he used to work for Crane's in Ipswich. I said one of my brothers used to work there. He liked to talk about our car and the motorhome and where we had been, because he had a caravan at one time. He told us he was so proud to carry the Olympic torch in Woodbridge and very much enjoyed his day. David and Ann Clark, Harleston
