In Memoriam: David Laing CBE
Music in Country Churches was saddened to learn of the death of David Laing CBE, former Lord-Lieutenant for Northamptonshire. Mr Laing was a key figure in helping us to start holding our concerts in Northamptonshire churches. He was a keen supporter of our work and we are deeply grateful for his generosity. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
May he rest in peace.
