My brother Stephen Innes, who has died aged 79, was a member of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, based at the church of St Edmund and St Frideswide in Oxford.
He was born in Lewisham, south-east London, to Robert Innes, a works inspector at a vacuum pump factory, and Beatrice (nee Casey), who worked in a greengrocers. In 1952, when he was nine, his family moved to Crawley in West Sussex, where he went to St Wilfrid’s Roman Catholic secondary school. While there he was chosen to make a presentation to Queen Elizabeth II on behalf of all the schools in the locality on her visit to the town in 1958.
