Life-long Henley resident Peter Hancock, who you may recall as the founder, together with his step-brother Don Hookins, of the General Decorating Supplies (GDS) a business which ran in Henley for many years, will show his films of Henley on VE/VJ Days and also of the first Royal Regatta after World War II.
