‘‘It’s always something I wanted to do. It’s a privilege to come back.’’
He used to attend when he was a member of the Gore Scouts, and later when he was in his final years at St Peter’s College.
His memory from his attending as a child was ‘‘being cold and not really knowing exactly what it was about at the time’’.
