After 20 years in the Lodge, John Maguire has hung up his keys 💛🔑
As the first friendly face many have encountered when arriving at Queen’s, John has welcomed generations of students, guiding late-night wanderers, and even trading banter with Daniel Craig during filming (“007 Ronaldo” t-shirt and all…).
Wishing John a relaxing retirement with his wife Pauline, and a very happy 40th wedding anniversary to them both! 🥂⚽

🎪 The Queen’s Ball That Never Was…
As the College prepares to welcome guests to a sold-out Ball tomorrow night, we’re looking back at the 1973 Easter Ball: the one that never happened.
From dreams of booking Wizzard and Arthur Brown’s flaming headdress (!) to lessons learned about budget spreadsheets and British weather, Paul Rex (Modern Languages, 1971) recalls how the ball was planned… and ultimately cancelled.
Read the full story on our website, complete with vintage poster artwork. And if you were ever involved in a Queen’s Ball, as a guest or organiser, we’d love to hear your memories: 📩 news@queens.ox.ac.uk
