    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.

    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

    I worked with Sir Eldryd for a decade at LSHTM when I administered the DTM&H course. He was one of the kindest and most generous people that it has been my pleasure to meet. We both had countries in common in Africa, Ethiopia being a favourite. He would often drop by just for a chat and a cup of tea and we would talk about everything from the Kingdom of Axum to different varieties of daffodil (He was a proud Welshman after all!). His passion for medicine, for helping others, for teaching and his deep faith shone through and made him one of the most revered and loved members of the faculty. The students adored him! He would cycle through rain and snow to deliver Christmas cards and a gift well into his eighties and had a zest for life that was infectious! Despite his august reputation in the field of tropical medicine, he was humble, thoughtful and had time for all. He was a consummate gentleman. Though the world is a poorer place for his loss, I can't help but think of all the lives that he enriched during the course of his long and remarkable life. He leaves a tremendous legacy and he will live long in the affections and memories of those of us lucky enough to have known him. Heartfelt sympathies to his family.
