A hundred metres from where Thomas Wakley founded and edited The Lancet, dozens gathered last night to celebrate the launch of his extraordinary story. I was thrilled that three of Thomas and Elizabeth’s eight living descendants could join us:
Denis Sprague and Delia Gilbert (great, great, great grandchildren) and Holly Gilbert, Delia’s daughter – along with past Deputy Editor of The Lancet and fellow Wakley aficionado, David Sharp.
