Update: [16/6/12]

There's coverage of this at the BBC which in a nice inversion of regular priorities leads with Ron's award, and relegates Kate Winslet and Kenneth Branagh to also rans.

Peter King, vice chairman of the Mills Archive Trust also comments on it, quoting Ron as "regard[ing] the award as national recognition of the hard work and dedication shown by all of the Mills Archive's friends, volunteers and trustees, and he is delighted to accept it on that basis."
