Congratulations to our friends at Thames Landscape Strategy on the opening of two new telescopes on Richmond Hill.  These are in memory of Air Commodore Robin Spaight CBE, whose wife Pat is Secretary of TLS and also of the Richmond Society.

Richmond upon Thames Mayor Cllr Ben Khosa performed the honours with Pat and Ellen LeCompte, a Trustee of Scenic Virginia, who is currently visiting from Richmond, Virginia.
Richmond MP Zac Goldsmith also dropped by.

The telescopes replace an earlier one which was installed on the Terrace in 2014 to mark the 20th anniversary of TLS. That one was stolen after a few months.
