I deeply regret I was unable to attend the funeral. He was an inspirational figure in my life and whilst he taught me history I think he also encouraged me and all his students to think independently and to become better people. I am sorry I was not able to say goodbye or tell him how grateful I was to have been helped and supported by him. He never forgot a face or name and in my opinion he lived a very useful life.

Mr King was a wonderful teacher who I met at St Barts. He taught me US politics and inspired me to follow my love of the subject. I ended up dropping out of 6th form and working in Tesco, he would come and say hello and encouraged me to keep going. Ended up doing a politics ba at York shortly after! What an amazing teacher!
