This is Les Wilson
And this is Les' son, Ian, who's voice you will be hearing a lot of here.
Ian is the eldest of 3 sons. David and Neil make up the other 2 sons, in descending age order.

Joking around in the front living room, probably asking one of their son's to snap the picture.

This is Audrey, Les' wife. Audrey and Les were childhood sweethearts and were together until the end. They were best friends too.
Les was born on Tuesday the 13th April 1954 to his parents Hilda and John, with Les being one of nine children.
Born and bred in Liverpool, Les left education and began his working life as an apprentice plumber before joining the Co-Op, working in the Bakery.
​
Les then went on to work at Bird’s Eye before moving to Mobile Containers where he became an integral part of the business
HOVER OVER ME
In 1971, when Les was 17, he went to the Oak Tree in Huyton with his parents.
A young lady was there with her parents and was the woman who would become the love of Les’s life, Audrey.
Their love grew and Les and Audrey were married on the 5th August 1972 at St David’s Registry Office.

This video was taken on Les' son's wedding, 20th August 2019, which was exactly a year before Les passed away.
He couldn't have been more proud to see Ian get married, as seen in the video below, where he tears up just seeing Ian and Angela walking down the aisle.
Move these around!
This song reminds Les' whole family of him. It stems from them all watching An American Werewolf in London when Les' sons were little, and they would all recite their own lines during the film.
This song was then played at Les' funeral, to allow for happier times to be remembered during such a tough day.
Les passed away in hospital on August 20th 2020, exactly a year to the day that Ian and Angela got married.
After spending a week in hospital, in an induced coma due to suffering a heart attack on the way to hospital, Les' life support was turned off.
Les passed due to Decompensated Heart Failure.
