In loving memory of David Rigley who sadly passed away on 21st August 2026.
David had an extraordinary 40-year plus military career that stretched across the Royal Navy, Special Forces, the Royal Corps of Signals, and the Territorial Army.
He embraced the ‘Civvy Street life’ with his usual gusto and a great sense of humour and entertained all he met. He was a legend.
There is no specific dress code or colour to wear, other than David's favourite flower was the poppy and it would be lovely if people could wear poppies or something to represent the poppy in his memory.
Any of David’s military comrades and friends who attend, are also invited to wear their military medals if they so wish.
All are welcome to attend both services, as well as afterwards at The Royal Oak, Ockbrook to share memories of David's life.
We would appreciate it if anyone attending could indicate this on this page please by clicking on the red ‘Attend Funeral’ button .
Family flowers only please. Donations in loving memory of David are welcome to Help for Heroes or SSAFA via the links on this page or on the day, in the church.
Helen, Lisa, Jan, Leo and Whitney thank you so much for all your kind thoughts, words of comfort and your support at this difficult time.
