  The Award for Services to Astronomy is given to Professor Sir Arnold Wolfendale of the University of Durham. Professor Wolfendale has been a leader of UK astronomy for more than three decades. He helped to bring funding to telescopes and space missions that now deliver world-class science. Professor Wolfendale not only led and advised the UK astronomical community but gave public advice to Ministers of Science, setting a new tone for the public debate between scientists and government. He became a vocal champion of fundamental research, and physics and astronomy in particular. Professor Wolfendale was elected to the Royal Society in 1977, became President of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1981 and the 14th Astronomer Royal in 1991. Despite this level of commitment he remains an active public speaker at venues across the UK.
