A Whiter Shade of Pale, by Gary Brooker, performing at Douglas Adams - The Party, in 2012

“A Whiter Shade of Pale“ by Gary Brooker at Douglas Adams - the Party, in 2012, on what would have been Douglas’ 60th birthday. Join us to celebrate Douglas’ life and his passion for conservation in May 2022, for the Douglas Adams Memorial Lecture: Douglas was a founder patron of our charity. He once joined us for a climb up Mount Kilimanjaro in a rhino costume and even writes about it in The Salmon of Doubt. This year would have been Douglas’ 70th birthday, and we’re celebrating the best way we know; a live event with talks from speakers that we’re sure Douglas would have loved. This year’s lecture will be given by Professor E.J. Milner-Gulland from the University of Oxford, and the event will be hosted by Producer, Comedian and serial Douglas fan, Rachel Wheeley. Join us at 19:00 (GMT 1) on Thursday 26 May 2022 at the Royal Geographic Society in London, or online in your own homes, to hear incredible speakers and honour Douglas. Find out more an
