Memorials for Roy Porter

It will be a secular event in a late Enlightenment, cheerful, neo-classical church. The programme will be organised over the course of the next two weeks or so. People have also been asking about the cause of death. It was apparently a heart attack, which struck while he was riding his bicycle to his allotment garden on the lovely Sunday morning of the 3rd of March (not, as has been rumoured, the result of a collision). Finally, we are also organising a fund in his remembrance, for which details will be available later. Hal Cook, Director Wellcome Trust Centre for the History of Medicine at UCL (please cross-post)
