Earl Russell visits Hereford Cathedral School
The Earl Professor Conrad Russell visited the Cathedral School on Friday 7th November to give its annual lecture.
To
an enthalled Cathedral audience, Lord Russell brilliantly addressed the
question: "How Far are We a Free Society?"
Lord Russell is a prominent member of the House of Lords - he was elected "Peer of the Year" in 1996, and as a Liberal Democrat spokes-person in the Upper chamber, he came top in his party when the elections were held to retain hereditary peers. He is also great grandson of the Victorian Prime Minister, Lord John Russell, and son of the philosopher, Bertrand Russell, as well as being a distinguished 17th Century Historian.
Headmaster, Dr Howard Tomlinson, commented: "There is no-one I would have rather listened to on the subject of freedom than Lord Russell. His visit is a considerable honour to this Foundation".
Pictured with Lord Russell are Dr Howard Tomlinson, Headmaster, the Mayor Cllr. Ursula Attfield, Mrs Meriel Oliver, the Chairman of Governors and Paul Keetch, MP.
