My father, Terry Millward, who has died aged 84, was an English teacher and chorister who managed to combine his two interests by working at schools in three cathedral cities – Durham, Bristol and Lincoln.
He was born in Leatherhead, Surrey, to Mick, an RAF flight engineer who died in a Lancaster bomber during the second world war, and his wife, Joyce (nee Kimberley), a school secretary and later a GP practice manager.
