In loving memory of our beloved dad and husband, Roger Walter Metson, who sadly passed away on 26th November 2025.

Roger’s funeral service will be held on 29th December at 2pm at:

Chislehurst

Following the service, we warmly invite you to join us for a drink at:

The Bull’s Head

Please do not feel obliged to wear black. We hope the day will be a celebration of Roger’s life—one filled with smiles, laughter, and cherished memories.

Roger had a lifelong love for donkeys, including his own sponsored donkey, Percy, through the Donkey Sanctuary. If you wish to honor Roger with a donation in lieu of flowers, a contribution to the Donkey Sanctuary would mean a great deal.

For those unable to attend in person, please contact Hayley or Linda for the details to watch remotely.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness at this difficult time. Linda, Hayley and Charlie x

Having met Roger at Youth Club aged 15, shared many laughs and escapades growing up. Especially on the Norfolk Broads, and then always a weekend party, too many memories to write down
Goodbye my friend xx
