SIR FABIAN MALBON was probably the best Lt-Governor Guernsey has had, according to islanders.

Sir Fabian and Lady Malbon said farewell to the island on Wednesday, leaving many residents wishing that he could stay.

During his five years as the Queen’s representative in the Bailiwick, Sir Fabian certainly made a strong impression.

A great ambassador for Guernsey with a huge amount of community spirit is just one of the ways people in the Bailiwick have chosen to describe him. And they said he was not one to be forgotten.
