Update - Memorial Service for Colonel Tony Hare - Late KOYLI

Updated: Sep 9, 2024


It is with great sadness that I have to inform members that Colonel Tony Hare died peacefully at home after a short illness on Saturday 6th July.


The funeral will be private. A memorial service is planned for later in the year.

 

Tony made the headlines in 2020 when to mark his 87th Birthday he completed a 26 mile walk to raise money for MacMillan Cancer Support.


Our thoughts and condolences at the sad time are with Tony's, family and friends, and those who knew and served with him.


 

As the bugle sounds 'No More Parades' and you take your place in the FRV,

your duty done with honour and distinction.

Rest in Peace Tony.

Cede Nullis.

 

Colonel Tony's family have organised a memorial service for Tony that will take place at 2pm on Saturday 5th October at St George’s Church, Georgeham, in North Devon.  This will be followed by sandwiches, cake, tea and a tipple at The Manor House Inn, Croyde.  It will be a celebration of his life (no black) and we ask everyone to come together to share their happy memories of him.

 

The postcode for St George’s Church is EX33 1JJ and the Manor House Inn is EX33 1PG.
