Richard Warner - a celebration of his life

A large number of Society members and friends joined the Warner family and other mourners in the lovely parish church of St Peter in Copt Oak, Leicestershire on 30 July to celebrate the life of fellow Society member, judge and past Society Chairman Richard Warner who passed away on 5th July.

The church was dressed with many of the rosettes and sashes Richard had won during his career showing his beloved Longhorn cattle and the very moving service was themed around Richard's farming life.

Society judge and close friend Richard Bartle gave the eulogy, relating tales about their trips to shows and sales both in the UK and abroad and highlighting Richard's innate skill with and love of livestock.

The Warner family were very touched by the number of Longhorn members who attended, from all across the country.

Thank you to Simon Hope from the Stoke herd who sent the Society this picture of Richard judging Stoke Inca, the Breed Champion at the National Show & Sale in 2011
