He took great interest in his local charity, Fitzrovia Youth in Action, where he was a trustee since its inception This again illustrates his continued concern with ordinary people in London, the real passion of his long career. Sidney and his wife June, whom he met at the Middlesex Hospital as a medical student, were a happy and utterly devoted couple. The school will close and there is no plan to open it again.’
