The untimely death of one of the UK’s leading microbiologists was marked by a Memorial Event at the University of Warwick on 19th May 2008 attended by his wife and family and a very large number of his former colleagues and students. A number of lectures were given which were focused on those areas for which Howard Dalton had become renowned. One of these, given by Professor Christopher Anthony, is published here. Also we reproduce the obituary for Howard Dalton, prepared by his former colleague, Professor J. Colin Murrell of the same Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick. This is reproduced by kind permission of the Society for General Microbiology, it having first appeared in the May 2008 number of the Society journal ‘Microbiology Today’.
