I join with so many others in mourning the shocking loss of Mike Lynch and all those who tragically lost their lives in Sicily this week. Mike was one of Suffolk’s most inspirational citizens.
He was quite simply a genius, a global leader in his field but so much more than that.
A kind and compassionate man who was always ready to help, hugely generous, the best of friends, but it will be his warm and wonderful smile that will be impossible for me to forget.
Mike was an exemplary Deputy Lieutenant of Suffolk serving both our late Queen Elizabeth II and our present King Charles III.
Our heartfelt sympathy and condolences are with Angela and his whole family at this terrible time.
Clare, Countess of Euston, HM Lord-Lieutenant of Suffolk
