Yvonne Holton, Dingwall Pursuivant

We were all delighted to hear on Saturday that an HSS member, Yvonne Holton, Dingwall Pursuivant and Painter to the Lyon Court, had won the prestigious International Heraldry Award for creating the heraldic art-work the committee adjudged, against stiff competition from a dozen or so other international artists, to be the finest submission of this year. The Award consists of a commemorative medal and the sum of 5,000 € for the laureate and is presented by de Moffarts Foundation, founded by Baron André de Moffarts (1925–2004), at the International Congress: Yvonne received her award in Maastricht.
