The family of Professor James Stirling are holding a service of thanksgiving to celebrate his life.

The service will be held in Durham Cathedral on Saturday 4 May 2019 at 2pm, and is open to all.

James died on 9 November 2018, after being diagnosed with pancreatic cancer a few months earlier. His final weeks were spent at his home in Durham surrounded by his loving family - his wife Paula, children Tom and Helena, and grandchildren Verity, Justin, Grace and Flora.

The service will be a celebration of James’ life and work, and the family would be very glad to see you there.

If you would like to attend, we would be grateful if you could let them know via email to tjs@europe.com so that we can have an idea of numbers.

Please do share this invitation with anyone who may wish to attend.
