There was also an obituary in The Daily Telegraph and there will be one coming out in The Times. The funeral was very much as he would have wished it to be - in the College chapel, with the Prayer Book Service - and his coffin was carried all round front court. If anyone is in Cambridge at the time, there'll be a memorial service for him on Saturday 7 February 2009 at Gt St Mary's church.
Him se yldesta andswarode; werodes wisa, wordhord onleac. "That noblest of men answered him; the leader of the warrior band unlocked his wordhoard."
