Nor can one forget an episode back in the late 1960s, when during a garden party Mr Lee started criticising the rotten state of modern Britain before Mr George Brown, the visiting British Foreign Secretary.

Mr Brown listened with an amused grin and, when Mr Lee finished, he turned to him and replied: "Harry, you're the finest Englishman east of Suez."

For one of the rare moments in his life, Mr Lee was stumped for words.
