We shall all miss Barry. The Baron felt like a real news service with him at the helm and it was exciting to be involved with it . All of the archive is precious. ■

Reuters founder becomes Baron de Reuter

Duke Ernst II of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha conferred a German barony on Paul Julius Reuter on 7 September 1871. Henceforth he was known as Baron de Reuter. His coat of arms featured the globe on a blue shield broken by rays of lightning from its four corners. The motto was per mare per terras (by land and sea). Queen Victoria recognised the title 20 years later in 1891.
