On December 6, 2020, friends, family and colleagues gathered at the University of Auckland to pay tribute to Vaughan Jones’ life and remarkable career in mathematics. We are grateful to Wendy Jones and to the University of Auckland for permission to include here a video recording of the event in its entirety. The memorial was organized by Marston Conder and presided over by celebrant and family friend, Philippa Brothers. The speakers were (in order of appearance) Vaughan’s wife, Wendy (6:56); daughter, Bethany (11:21); longtime friend, Peter Brothers (30:24); colleagues, David Gauld (46:55) and Gaven Martin (1:02:20); and, lastly, Vaughan’s sister, Tessa Jones (1:20:52).
