Bob Mizon, MBE (1946-2023) was co-ordinator of the Commission for Dark Skies. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1985, and was associated with the Wessex Astronomical Society in various offices for many years. For almost three decades he provided a full-time mobile planetarium service to south central England, and took the experience of the night sky to nearly 160,000 people, mostly schoolchildren. In 2010 his work was officially recognised when he was awarded a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) with the citation, 'For voluntary services to Astronomy and the Environment'.
