Ron Bligh’s funeral March 2024

Members of the Woodfalls Bands, both past and present, came together to form a special ensemble for the funeral of Ron Bligh at St Martin’s Church, Salisbury.
The service was a moving tribute to Ron, who blessed us with his extraordinary talent as a flugelhorn player and inspired countless individuals as both a conductor and teacher at Woodfalls for nearly fifty years.
The ceremony featured a special recording of Ron performing one of his favorite flugelhorn solos, “For Your Eyes Only,” providing a poignant reminder of his remarkable musical abilities. His nephew, Mark Sparrow, also paid tribute by playing Ron’s cherished flugelhorn with the band during the service.
Rest in peace, Ron. We hope we gave you a fitting send off.
