Prince of Wales honours Orri Vigfusson with one of Neil’s sculptures. Orri is the Icelandic salmon conservationist who negotiated the buyout of Faroese and Greenland high sea salmon fisheries. Prince Charles presented him with one of his sculptures of a cock and hen Atlantic salmon which had been specially commissioned by the Salmon and Trout Association. The ceremony took place at a reception held in Orri Vigfusson’s honour at St James’s Palace in 1995.
“In 1994 I was thrilled to receive a superb sculpture that had been specially created by Neil Dalrymple. It is one of my most treasured possessions, both for its beauty and the fact that it was commissioned jointly by the Salmon and Trout Association and the Atlantic Salmon Trust and presented to me by Prince Charles in appreciation for my work in the conservation of Atlantic salmon. The sculpture was on display at Keflavik, Iceland’s international mid-Atlantic airport, for several years but it now lives in the living room of my home in Reykjavik where it has pride of place.”
