Guy Hurst, long-time editor of The Astronomer and officer of the BAA Comet Section has been awarded a BEM for services to amateur astronomy in this year's King's Birthday Honours.

I have known Guy since the early 1980s and no single person in this country has done more to promote active amateur astronomy and Pro-am cooperation.  This is a very well deserved award and I would like to congratulate Guy personally and on behalf of the BAA Comet Section.

The full honours list is here:

Guy is also President of the Basingstoke Astronomical Society and my thanks to Alan Lorrain for bringing this to my attention.

Nick James. Director, BAA Comet Section.
