So many wonderful memories and times with Eldryd, in the office, fundraising escapades, Link meetings around the UK, concerts, invited to home in London and Helen's wonderful cooking, at the cottage in Wales... But the trips to Africa were of course the most special and treasured. These photos from a trip to the Simiens en route or coming back from a visit to the chronic disease outreach clinics around Gondar, Eldryd's visionary work with dedicated Ethiopian colleagues, amazing people all. But here we left medicine for a moment to look at the breathtaking beauty of this magnificent country. Eldryd's knowledge and interests were as broad as his kindness. He is my inspiration.

I am left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude for knowing Eldryd. He was just so interested in people as well as being passionate, wise, caring, and having a sense of fun. I, like so many others, will miss Eldryd, but the rich memories are a constant blessing. Eldryd was a colleague, friend, brother, mentor and to be honest, my hero. Aside from my wife Sue, no other person has had such an impact on my life. Way back in 1999, Eldryd gave encouragement for our first trip to Somaliland that opened the door to King’s and THET’s health partnership with our colleagues in Somaliland. Our trip together to Somaliland in 2005 was especially memorable. More recently, Eldryd played a leading role in the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery and took such an interest in global health developments across our university.

Eldryd was such a polymath with a wide range of interests and expertise from fiddle playing to cycling to his deep appreciation of nature with his particular love of course for his rugged Ceredigion coastline. A couple of cherished memories, one was when we were standing in his flower meadow and he introduced me to a near neighbour. I couldn't understand a word the neighbour said but they clearly held each other in the highest esteem regardless of Eldryd's titles and honours. The second was his palpable joy of life and everything and everyone around him beautifully exemplified by our (very strenuous!) tramp along the coast from his house in search of Choughs (we spotted them) whilst Eldryd waxed thrilledly about the possibility of spotting a Marsh Fritillary butterfly. What an extraordinary man and what an honour and a privilege to have known him.

Just one of so many happy memories spent with Eldryd and Helen in our THET summers! Huge portions of porridge, ditch clearing and cricket on the beach as the sun sets - days that will never be forgotten. With love, Charlotte Ashton

Eldryd was quite simply one of the most inspirational person I have had the privilege to meet throughout my life. I cannot remember the first meeting, but as a young surgeon he brought me into his International Health Consortium group to explore collaboration with colleagues in Uganda. His enthusiasm and positive approach to forging relationships with those he sought to support was infectious, and visionary. I never forget him going out of his way to meet me by suggesting a curry meal together close to Paddington station for my benefit. Every thought he suggested for advancing work across the globe was a pearl of wisdom, and his network of friends everywhere was enormous. I am deeply saddened by the thought of not seeing him again, but his legacy is great and will continue to inspire and motivate. A true gentleman. Deepest sympathies to all his family.
