Robin Ashburner
We heard with great sorrow of the death of Robin Ashburner.
Not only was Robin a past President and our honorary vice-President.
By his ‘sheer bloody-mindedness’, he saved the FI after the sudden death of our founder, Dr William Crampton.
Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
A full obituary will follow in Flagmaster.
Our friends @TheHeraldrySoc have talked to the Flag Institute's own Communities Vexillologist about how he got into flags and how that led to the world of heraldry and huge state ceremonies
