Lilian won the silver medal in the 400 metres at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, and two gold medals at the 1969 European Championships in Athletics in Athens. I remember asking her which gave her the most pride.IIRC she said the Olympic silver. I was her pharmacist in the community until July 1970 but there was no indication she was terminal. I do not know how long she knew before she died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lillian_Board gives the answer. It says the road to the Munich Olympic stadium is named after her. Someone should tell Wki what Ealing has named after her.
