Lady Vivienne passed away Monday December 11 after a long battle with lung cancer. Lady Vivienne, wife of the PHR 'Found Art'
sculptor Sir Alan Gordon KCIOM for more than 48 years,
was a strong supporter of the PHR and visited us a number of times over many
years, assisting her husband in the delivery and placement of the many
wonderful metal sculptures that you will find around the PHR. Lady Vivienne was not only a strong supporter of the PHR but she was very active in fighting the Australian Government for recognition as one of the "Forgotten Australians", one of the many children that suffered untold and unspeakable abuse at the hands of people in various Government departments and carer centres that were approved to look after the children placed under their care. Seen here are some photo's of Lady Vivienne leading/attending some of the protests held to demonstrate to the Australian Government that it is well past time that the abuse of those kids be recognised and an apology given for what they suffered whilst in the care of the Government. Lady Vivienne saw through those years of protests aimed at the Australian Government and in 2009 she was one of the 500 that attended Canberra where the Australian Federal Government received them and finally recognised their suffering as children. Each in attendance was issued with a written apology presented in the form of an official Government Certificate detailing the Australian Government's Apology. Over following weeks such certificates were forwarded to all who could be found that were affected by the horrors experienced by so many in Government care. Lady Vivienne's passing is a great loss to the Principality and the Royal Family where her support and friendship has been most appreciated. Lady Vivienne is survived by her husband Sir Alan and 2 children. The thoughts of myself Prince Graeme, HRH
Prince Leonard and all in the PHR Thankyou Lady Vivienne.
