The weekend of the 13th and 14th  July marked the 125th. anniversary of Christchurch in Christchurch Park.

Richard brought the New London Concert Band, for whom he plays trumpet, to Christchurch on Sunday afternoon to perform a concert, as part of the celebrations. A large audience, on a hot day, listened to a concert that included a selection of James Bond themes, some Bach, a lot of Leroy Anderson (Blue Tango, Belle of the Ball), themes from Walt Disney films, and a lot more.
