The Higgs Boson plays a crucial role in the Standard Model, and this lecture is about the search for the Higgs at LEP, especially in the last year of LEP running, at the highest e+e- collision energies. The experimental signature for Higgs decays has to be picked out from all the other Standard Model processes. The debate on whether to extend the LEP running after a hint of Higgs events was seen gave a nail biting finish to the LEP programme.
