His son, a musician and sculptor, has memories of using five different aliases across that five-year period when his parents were on the run, but said he saw no signs of anxiety or stress in them.

Nick said his dad "dressed extremely smartly" in designer clothes and "he kind of modelled himself on the character Cary Grant played in To Catch a Thief".
