Abstract
A LARGE gathering, representative of the Admiralty, the Board of Visitors to the Royal Observatory, the staff of the Observatory, the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Astronomical Association, attended a complimentary luncheon to Sir Frank and Lady Dyson on March 10. Affection and respect for the human and lovable chief of astronomy, and for his attainments and achievements, were the note of the letters read from those unable to be present and of the speeches of Prof. F. J. M. Stratton and Dr. W. A. Parr, the presidents respectively of the Royal Astronomical Society and the British Astronomical Association. Tributes were paid to the unselfish yet competent manner in which Sir Frank Dyson has sunk himself in the work of the Royal Observatory during his tenure of the office of Astronomer Royal and to the friendly and helpful way in which he has co-operated with his astronomical colleagues, professional and amateur alike. The best of wishes for the future were expressed to both Sir Frank and Lady Dyson.
