We just received the sad news that Dr Lesley Boatwright passed away.

Phil Stone, Chairman of the Richard III Society, said on behalf of the Exceutive Committee:

It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of Dr Lesley Boatwright after a short illness.  She died in the early evening of the 4thOctober.

Lesley, also known by some as Lesley Wynne-Davies, will be greatly missed,both as a friend and as a Ricardian.

A full tribute to her will appear in due course in the Bulletin.

The Executive Committee

I had the pleasure of getting to know Lesley, when attending a Bulletin Committee Meeting this July, and found her to be very helpful and enthusiastic.  So it was very sad to learn that she had been taken ill and her passing not long after.

The Executive Committee had appointed her a Vice-President on Monday and we heard that she was pleased about this well-deserved recognition.

Our branch and the Society as whole have lost a good friend.
