Walton's wizardry

I am prompted to write in the wake of learning that Lady Walton died a fortnight or so ago. She was a devoted promoter of her husband's music and always played a prominent part in the Walton Festivals held in the '90s in his home town of Oldham. Her elegant posture and fizzy personality always added to the wit and sparkle of Walton's music on these occasions. May she rest in peace.
