My partner Rick Seccombe, who has died of oesophageal cancer aged 74, lived his life according to his convictions and was known for his kindness and generosity. He was a radical bookseller and community activist, committed to working to bring about change. He campaigned for CND and supported nonviolent direct action against American cruise missiles stationed in the UK in the 1980s.
In 1990 he co-founded the One World festival in New Mills, Derbyshire, dedicated to international peace and environmental issues. Until recently he was a trustee of the Omega Research Foundation, which tracks the development and trade of weapons and equipment misused for torture.
