Conclusion

Live music: Bobby Hackney

One day I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all of your beliefs and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine.”

– the Doctor, Season 2, Episode 9, “Flashpoint”, 26 December, 1964

Our thoughts are with Tuna’s family and friends, especially his wife Bojana Skrt, and we hope tomorrow is a warm send-off for a remarkable man.
