Michael Rosen certified as Beard of Summer 2020
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that following his triumph in the Beard of Summer vote on 27th June author and Arsenal fan Michael Rosen has now been certified as the winner.
A brief presentation will be arranged at a date and location to be determined, although this will not be for a significant period given present circumstances.
Michael Rosen shaved actor Michael Sheen for the honour in a well contested on-line poll and Sheen subsequently congratulated him on twitter.
The Beard Liberation Front says that Rosen’s beard has shown tremendous resilience after a period of serious illness. It is good to see that both Michael Rosen and his beard are now on the road to recovery.
He and his partner Emma-Louise Williams spoke about this, and about the superb care that he has received from the NHS, on Radio 4’s Today programme on 29th June.

BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, we are delighted that Michael Rosen has been voted Beard of Summer 2020. His beard is a true benchmark for hirsuteness in tough times and it might even inspire Arsenal to end the season successfully as well
