I’ve woken this morning to the tragic news of the death of Professor Justin Champion @RHULHistory. He was first suggested to me as the supervisor for my PhD on London Quakers by Bill Sheils in 2001. Bill gave me two possible names, adding “Justin would be more fun”. He was right.

Really saddened to hear this. I was lucky enough to be taught by Justin at RHUL between 1992-5. He was a brilliant man and helped develop me as a person in that time. He was also the friendliest nicest person you could wish to meet and often joined us for a beer. RIP.

So sad to hear of the loss of Justin. He gave me my first teaching job when he was head of history. I learned very much from his approach to public history and will miss his wit and energy,intellectual drive with friendliness very much.
