Robin gibb 60 th Birthday present

We discussed having a party for Robin's 60th Birthday, but he categorically did not wish to celebrate this milestone, having reached it without his twin brother Maurice, so we did not celebrate on that day, but lit a candle in the Prebendal Chapel instead. A couple of days later, we combined Christmas dinner with the giving of Birthday presents to Robin. He was delighted with a wonderful signed copy of an Operette in three acts by Noel Coward from Barry and Linda; Robin loves history, so we gave him a special pen made of metals and a part of the crystal chandelier from the Titanic, authenticated by Harland and Wolff. My cousin worked for many years at Harland and Wolff in Belfast. Out of respect for the survivors of the Titanic, the salvaged metals could not be used until after the last survivor passed away last year.
