I find the "personal note" from his sister really touching for some reason, especially this: "His neighbours were very protective regarding his fan base and would sometimes deny all knowledge of him or even say he lived in the next road."

This is curious to me, Duggie Fields still lived in that same flat until he passed a few years ago, and there is recent-ish footage of Syd's old room, but the floor looks different, maybe Fields had the floorboards replaced and put them in storage, weird?
