On behalf of us lot,
Not a day will go by at school where we don’t think about you, your cockney accent and your comical ways, the way you put a smile on our faces during times at school where we were ready to just sack it off. You gave us all a reason to smile even if it was taking the mick out of one of our names or creating a new fun and enjoying way of learning. But one thing I think we can all say is that Sir, Mr Charlesworth, Big C, You will be in our hearts forever and truly and honestly you will never be forgotten.
