I was so saddened to read this evening that Professor Mick Aston of Bristol University and known as a mainstay of Time Team, has died. he was only sixty-six and it is a tragic loss. My condolences and sympathy to his family and his friends, many, many people will be sorry to read this and grieve for the loss of a such a respected and well-liked person. He will be remembered not just for his stripey jerseys and amazing hats, but for his humour, his knowledge and his love of history and archaeology which he communicated so well. He was, I am sure, an inspiration to many people.
