Hi Darren & all,
Not yesterday but Tues night UK time, 6.30pm.
Thankfully he was not in pain, and was surrounded by his family.
Mike Hall of the Godwin told me that the funeral will be a private family 
affair, and in due course there will be a large memorial service. I will 
pass that notice onto the list when I hear of the time and place.
A you say, an incredible man in so many ways, and great loss to all of us 
in Cambridge and in the isotope community.

regards,
Tamsin
