We are very sad to announce that our Vice Chair (Archives) Robert Excell died suddenly and unexpectedly on 20th November. Robert joined the Living Archive MK Board in 2016, when he was still employed as a curator at the London Transport Museum, and after retirement he got more actively involved with the organisation, becoming a member of our monthly management sub committee and taking on the role of Vice Chair with special responsibility for archiving.
Robert was not only on our Board, but was also Chair of the MK Heritage Association. Milton Keynes has lost a great enthusiast and advocate for the importance and significance of heritage in the life of our city.

My most sincere condolences to Robert’s family and colleagues. He was a most excellent chap and great to have worked with on MKHA and other things in the past.
