John Richards RIP

I have had the sad news from Helen, Belinda and Lloyd that their father, John Richards, died in London on 29th December.

John grew up at Clifton House but left home to join the presigious Life Guards Regiment.  However, he never forgot his home village where had been so happy and returned every year for 2 or 3 viwsits a year.  After so many years in London, he had lost his Ruyton accent but loved to say he was the `Ruyton Cockney`!  See the attached lovely picture of John as we remember him.

I hope to find out more about John`s life.

Although his cremation is in London on 19th January, his

Burial will be at St. John the Baptist Church, Ruyton XI Towns on Saturday 21st January at 2pm

and family members would love to meet anyone who knew their father in Ruyton.

Please pass this information on to anyone who might have known this Old Ruytonian.
