Adrian Hume Robinson, from Brighton in the UK, worked ceaselessly for two years to arrange for a Blue Commemorative Plaque to be erected at St. Ann's Court, Hove, in recognition of Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas. This is the first public honor ever afforded Lord Alfred! The Blue Plaque was installed on October 22, 2004. Lord Gawain is the Great-Nephew of Bosie.

Many thanks are offered to the Brighton and Hove Council, responsible for placing of this blue plaque and the recognition of Lord Alfred 'Bosie' Douglas. Generally, the Blue Plaques draw attention to buildings of interest because of their associations with famous people. In more recent years it has become the practice to erect a plaque only when the house in which a famous person lived is still standing. A number of plaques, however, mark the sites of famous buildings or historical events. Adrian, who made this honor possible, is an actor, director, model, and photographer.
