Admiral of the Fleet Michael Cecil Boyce, Baron Boyce, KG, BCE, OBE, KStJ, DL (1943-2022)

It is with great sadness that we have been informed by our friends of the Royal Cinque Ports Yacht Club Dover of the death of a unique personality, sailor, leadership example, GOST member of honour and friend – Admiral of the Fleet, The Lord Boyce.

He will forever accompany us on board in our midst.  May he rest in eternal peace.

Messages of Condolence and personal notes:

On a really sad note Lord Boyce who was the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports and who many of us have met passed away yesterday. A really good and nice man who we are going to miss. Look up his obituary. We were very privileged to have him as a friend.
