The following day I was again joined by Sven Erick at the Statens ljud-och bild arkiv at 98 Karlaplan, where we viewed "Private Entrance", the pilot TV episode that Gerald made in the Stockholm studios at Solna and on location immediately prior to his death in 1968. The film was in colour and the story entertaining, with hints of "Foreign Intrigue" in the plot. Bert Sundberg, the Director of "Private Entrance", was to have joined us to view the show, but unfortunately personal matters deterred him from coming to Stockholm that day. We also watched again "Wild West Story", as Sven Erick hadn't seen it since its premiere in Eskilstuna in February 1964. Added bonus for me was that Sven Erick was able to translate the important points of the Swedish script as the film progressed.
On Saturday morning, 14 June I returned alone to Lidingö Kyrka to pay my final respects before flying back to Glasgow later that day. The weather was dry again and I spent 45 minutes in the leafy glade before taking my leave for another year.

There’s the newspaper article and translation that Joachim Björk wrote about this year’s visit.
