Hello Everyone, Once again I find myself stunned by the generosity of the Ken-Friends in marking my birthday. Not only the staggering sum of money which goes to such necessary and valuable use in Northern Ireland, but all the beautiful and generous messages in the cards I have received. I feel both proud and humbled by such a response. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. May I wish you all the merriest of Christmas's and look forward to seeing many of you from the stage in Sheffield during the run of "Richard III". You are a wonderfully kind group of people. Thank-you again Warmest wishes Kenneth Branagh
