Abstract
The final chapter constitutes my reflections on the status—present and past—of the Royal Institution and my own involvement in various aspects of its works. One of the main conclusions that I draw is that (a) the presentation of popular lectures is still being maintained at a very high level; (b) the RI Christmas Lectures are now less impressive when televised than they were even 20 years ago, because they now constitute only some 3 lectures (compared with the six that were given 30 years ago); (c) it is noted with sadness that the original research carried out at the DFRL (founded in 1896) has now almost ceased.
