We were saddened to hear of the recent death of one of our Fellows, Professor Tony Ford, who was Emeritus Professor at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, Durban, in South Africa, where he had lived and worked since 1970.

This eulogy was delivered at a memorial service on 6 April by his colleague and fellow Welshman Professor Mike Watkeys. It provides a lovely summary of Professor Ford’s life and passions.
