Arabella Churchill; died at 3am this morning. It is with a great weight of grief and sadness to have to pass this message on to so many of you who have known her and worked with her for many years. She has been a stalwart and one of the most valuable members of our team for the last 37 years. Her energy, vitality, and great sense of morality and social responsibility have given her a place in our Festival history second to none.

May her place in the great eternity be always peaceful and perhaps the mysteries of the heavens will accommodate her spirit forever.
