Private

In loving memory of William Lithgow who sadly passed away on 24th March 2024.

The funeral will be a private family event. A chance for the wider Bedales community to join together to remember Will will hopefully take place later in the year.

Rather than flowers, we would gratefully accept donations to our chosen charities. Two local hospice charities and Macmillan. All three charities supported Will and continue to support us as a family.

I am profoundly sad to hear these news. Billy Lithgow was over many years our beloved solo cellist and toured with us for years giving numerous most successful concerts throughout the world. He was one of the greatest musicians within our ranks and a lovely, sensitive and fun-loving person. I will miss him dearly.
Here is one of his most wonderful moments:
