Rock guitarist for Rod Stewart who, as the son of Hattie Jacques and John Le Mesurier, was born into a life both ‘chaotic and bohemian’
...Robin Mark Le Mesurier Halliley was born in London in 1953 to Hattie Jacques (née Josephine Jaques) and John Le Mesurier (né John Halliley), from whom he said he inherited his good manners and passion for music. Robin and his younger brother Jake (né Kim) grew up in a house which was often full of lodgers, actors and au pairs, including one of Jacques’s gay friends who operated as an unofficial “mother’s help”. He remembered it as “a very gentle household where there was never a cross word”...
...His first marriage, to Robin Robinson, a “Playboy Bunny”, ended in divorce. He is survived by his second wife, Jules, an interior designer...
