By this time his health was so much better that he was contemplating active<br />

service in Afghanistan with the Territorial Army, in which he had advanced<br />

to the rank <strong>of</strong> Major. He was also the Honorary Colonel for the 212 Field<br />

Hospital (Volunteers) based in Sheffield.There was no shortage <strong>of</strong> ideas and<br />

projects. Julian was thinking <strong>of</strong> putting his yacht to use by <strong>of</strong>fering sailing<br />

holidays for young people from socially deprived areas through the Scottish<br />

charity Westward Quest.<br />

There were few equals to Julian when it came to his commitment to live life<br />

to the fullest. He is survived by his wife Daphne Green and his two daughters<br />

Olivia and Caroline.<br />

RICHARD CLINTON DANBY (1968) died suddenly on 22 October 2003.<br />

Born in Lyndhurst in February 1950, he was educated at Marlborough and<br />

came up to King’s to read Natural Sciences.After <strong>Cambridge</strong> Richard worked<br />

as a chemist, settled in Norfolk and in 1976 married his wife Marion. He<br />

played the oboe and cor anglais and in 2000 started working with Stone<br />

Angel, a well-known folk-rock band based in Great Yarmouth. Their style<br />

combined the storytelling <strong>of</strong> traditional folk music with much more<br />

modern sounds from electric guitars; Richard contributed some beautiful<br />

arrangements for the oboe, the crumhorn and the tenor recorder. He<br />

became a permanent member <strong>of</strong> the band, which attracted a following in<br />

Japan and Korea. Richard appeared on their East <strong>of</strong> the Sun album, probably<br />

their best-known recording, and was working on Lonely Waters when he<br />

suddenly and tragically died. His fellow band members remember him as<br />

someone who was a purist in the sounds he achieved, and who was always<br />

the last to leave a gig but who nevertheless remained upright to the end <strong>of</strong><br />

the evening and never lost his impeccable diction.<br />

JOHN STUART DARNLEY-NAYLOR (1938) was born in Adelaide, South<br />

to King’s to read Classics.<br />
