Industry turns out in force for final farewell to Charles Notcutt
More than 600 people filled St Mary’s Church, Woodbridge, Suffolk, to overflowing yesterday for a thanksgiving service for Charles Notcutt, who died in July. The garden industry that Charles served so well was represented by dozens of its leaders and dignitaries at the hour-long service, led by the Revd. Canon Kevan McCormack, Rector of St Mary's and Chaplain to H.M. The Queen and the Rt. Revd. Jeremy Walsh, Assistant Bishop of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich. There were contributions from Charles’s three children – a tribute from Andrew and readings from Caroline and William. The eulogy was given by John Gummer, the Rt. Hon. the Lord Deben, former Conservative MP for Suffolk Coastal and now a member of the House of Lords, who referred to Charles Notcutt’s boundless energy and enthusiasm and capacity for getting things done.
