Royal Gazette: Michael Darling (1930-2024): A Soldiers soldier
A former Commanding Officer of the Bermuda Regiment through turbulent times was also deeply committed to Bermuda’s environment and social welfare.
Lieutenant-Colonel Michael Darling was twice president of the Bermuda National Trust; a former chairman of the Defence Board; one of three founders of the Bermuda National Gallery; and a proud chairman of the board at the Elbow Beach Hotel.
His family recalled him as a man of deep-seated community passion who loved gardening and agriculture — and regretted that his bid for a political career never took off, after running unsuccessfully for the United Bermuda Party in 1976 in Southampton East.
