Richard Ryder’s funeral

We have received the following message from Richard’s immediate family:

Dear family and friends,

Thank you so much for your words of comfort, thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.

If you would like to attend Richard’s funeral, here are the details:

Friday 15th March, 2pm at St Mary’s church, Pook Lane, Lavant, West Sussex PO18 0AX. Please note there is no church car park; parking is on Pook Lane leading up to the church and alongside the village green.

Following the church service the immediate family will attend a short service at the crematorium.

There will be light refreshments served at the Minerva Theatre Brasserie, Oaklands Park, Chichester PO19 6AP, which is a short drive from the church. There is ample parking (pay and display) in Northgate car park PO19 6AA, adjacent to the theatre. NB Chichester Festival Theatre is on the same site, the Minerva is the smaller building opposite the Festival Theatre entrance.

The family will join you at the Minerva, and are arranging a floral tribute. Details about making donations in Richard’s memory if wished will be in the order of service.

Elizabeth/Liz, Ruth and Michael Ryder
