The Big Day
I was presented with my British Empire Medal today by the Lord Lieutenant of Leicestershire. It was awarded in Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II's final Birthday Honours for my voluntary work helping other blind and visually impaired people to live their lives more fully and independently by helping them select the right technology and then training them to use it. It has been very rewarding, especially over lockdown and the BEM was a huge, delightful surprise.
This is Jackie and me in the gardens of Beaumanor Hall after the presentation. Photo by our daughter, Michelle.
If you are interested in the work I do with iPhones and iPads please take a look at
and here's a Gallery of photos taken by the official photographer
