Fire fighter who died following a fire in the Royal Palace Hotel Kensington.
From : "Leading Firefighter Frederick Charles Willoughby, of Twickenham, was overcome by fumes whilst fighting a four-hour fire in the basement of the Royal Palace Hotel in Kensington, London, on February 22nd 1956. He died in an ambulance on the way to hospital."
Note the date given on the Highgate plaque is 22 May 1956, which we think must be an error.
We are not totally convinced this is a photo of Willoughby. It's from but has a photo of a man who looks quite different.
