It’s splendid to celebrate Sir Edward (SaIisbury Cathedral, 30 June 2022) whom I met once at the Sheldonian in Oxford.
He was probably the U. K. ‘s most European Prime Minister. He must be gyrating in his grave!
Will the talk be televised and/or be put on youTube/Zoom for the benefit of Rejoiners like myself and many others?
