Matthew Bannister on
Norman Moore, the conservationist who discovered that organochorine pesticides were decimating the UK's bird of prey population. He fought a twenty year campaign to have them banned.
The singer Diane Charlemagne - known as the diva of drum and bass. We have a tribute from Moby.
The academic David Cesarani - a leading authority on modern Jewish history.
The actor and screenwriter Colin Welland who, on winning an Oscar for Chariots of Fire, announced "The British Are Coming".
And a powerful poem read by the Radio 4 newsreader and Chief Announcer Peter Donaldson.
