The campaigner and politician Glenys Kinnock, who died on Sunday with Alzheimer’s disease, was born into an activist family in 1944.
Her parents – Cyril Parry, a trade unionist and railway signalman, and Doris Evans – were credited with instilling in their daughter a strong sense of social justice and a love of Wales. She was born in Northamptonshire, but soon afterwards the family moved back to their native Holyhead, where Glenys learned to speak Welsh.
