On this day, I always think of who did so much for #AlanTuring Centenary. One of the most intelligent, kind & supportive people I’ve ever known. I wouldn’t work with now, without him. Still missed all the time.

Turing’s impact on society and modern computing is vast and the treatment of him so abhorrent. I hope with this that more people will realise our debt to him. Well done to all those that campaigned for this
