Richard Hirst (Passed away 16 Jan 2026)

From the Hirst family, can I just say a huge thank you to all those who turned out to say farewell to Richard yesterday. It was the best send off anyone could wish for and the day went flawlessly. Thanks for all your lovely messages of condolence and for the generous donations you made to our two charities. Most of all thank you to the excellent service provided by all at Radcliffes Funeral Service (special thank you Gwen), to Christine Freeman (the celebrant) who was brilliant and captured the mood perfectly. The tribute she gave to Richard said everything we would have wanted to say about him. Thanks also to the Travellers Rest at Meltham for providing the venue and the excellent hospitality and last, but certainly not least to Bolster Moor farm shop for the gorgeous hot beef tea cakes they provided and served up. I hope your personal memories of Richard live within you for a long, long time. RIP Richard (Dick, Docker, Spike). Gone but never forgotten xx
