‘C’mon, let’s get up. Last dance,’ I said, dragging him away from his friends.

We stumbled around the dance floor, to the applause of our guests. Rab was oblivious to most of it. He was trying to make an effort, but he was never the most ebullient of personalities. As the band played the last notes of the song, the lights came on. The next 20 minutes were taken up saying hearty goodbyes to everyone.

We were soon virtually alone in the middle of the hall. I guided Rab out into the night. It was still warm and fine. Taxis were coming and going, but we had been offered a lift by one of our guests. The car drew up in front of us. We were joined by my cousin Joe and his wife, who was also called June. Joe was much older than me and he was more like a brother than a cousin. We had arranged to go to his house and spend our wedding night there.

Joe lived in Stevenson, a town not too far from Kilbirnie. We were all in good spirits on the short journey. It was, of course, too good to last. We hadn’t been in Joe’s house long before I was rowing with Rab – over going to bed. He insisted on staying up and having ‘just a few more drinks’.

I was trying to persuade him to come upstairs, but he pushed me away, saying, ‘You don’t fuckin’ tell me when to go to bed.’
