Sir John Meurig Thomas was a founding Fellow of the Learned Society of Wales, noted for his pioneering work in catalytic chemistry.

An account of that service was written by family friend Dr. Neville Evans. It captures the tributes paid to Sir John, together with details of readings and music from the service.
