how do I remove radiator with double entry micro bore valve.
Can it be closed down with the single valve before removing the radiator to decorate behind it ?

They were usually fitted with a balancing screw. Does the valve have a little dome shaped cover, maybe chrome? If so try under there. Better still post a pic.
Good luck with removing that without damaging the distributing pipe inside the rad

Removed three of these in my time, not one of them managed to come out in one piece I'm afraid to say.
I'm also afraid to say that you won't be able to replace it either as you can't get them anywhere anymore.
If you can, leave it alone, if not get someone to replace for 2 valves and extend either the flow or return pipe
