Thanks Lizzie. You’d have liked Margot very much (and her you).

Tributes paid after death of 'brilliant and fearless' Lancashire professor A leading academic lawyer from Lancashire who chaired three key government bodies has died aged 74.

Some lovely tributes in this article reporting
the death of Professor Margaret -Margot- Brazier. She was indeed brilliant and fearless- and also so kind and inspirational. I will very much miss my former personal tutor, former colleague and great friend.
