‘WE LOWER OUR BANNER’: Eddie Adams – a gallant fighter and comrade

I SHALL be going to Kensal Green Cemetery tomorrow for the funeral of a outstanding comrade, polymath, historian and friend. 

Eddie Adams was a lifelong communist in North Kensington, where he achieved many things for the people who lived alongside him in his beloved part of our capital city.

The Morning Star letters page has carried a good few tributes to Eddie from various people who were involved in the many diverse facets of this remarkable man’s life.
