@sarah_hany @christs_college @hmstrudwick @FitzMuseum_UK And many thanks also @LeverhulmeTrust whose support of me as a Leverhulme Emeritus Fellow makes my contribution to the conference and the coffins project possible

[Julie Dawson @DawsonJd110]

@Conservators_UK I am delighted also to be the first recipient of the exquisite new Medal in its intriguing box (complete with ‘secret compartment). It was a privilege at the presentation to meet the designers and makers and hear the stories and meaning behind the creation of these special items

[Julie Dawson @DawsonJd110]

@Conservators_UK Thank you @Conservators_UK & @LJaneHenderson for your kind congratulations and also colleagues and friends who have ‘liked’ the tweet or written to me over various media in response. It is a great honour to join Jane and other former recipients on this distinguished roll call.

[Julie Dawson @DawsonJd110]

@DEJPett Thank you so much, Dan, for your kind congratulations. Hope all well with you. With best wishes.
