No other dancer has matched, nor ever will, Leslie Edwards' career with the Royal Ballet: more than 60 years of performances, starting in January 1933 and continuing even beyond his official retirement in November 1993. In addition, for the first six years he appeared frequently with Ballet Rambert, and later on he was involved with outside events often featuring Margot Fonteyn and Rudolf Nureyev. And something much more than simply the length and breadth of his career marked it out as special: there was also a great admiration and affection which he won from his audiences and fellow artists.
