It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of David William Smith on the 24th November 2022 aged 83 after a battle with cancer he just could not win.

He was best known locally for his battle against the Silton Wind Turbines (which he helped to win!) and his involvement with the Pimpernel Beagles.

His partner of 53 years, Cindy Brierley, children; Jenny, Jakki, Tony, grandchildren; Ben, Beth, Calvin, Tamsin and Jodie and great grandchildren; Ellie, Annaliese and Reece,
will all miss him terribly.

His funeral will be held at Salisbury Crematorium on Wednesday 14th December at 11am and all who would like to say goodbye are welcome. We would like to ask that instead of flowers, donations to the Injured Jockeys Fund would be welcomed and may be made online at www.mhfd.co.uk or send cheques payable to the charity c/o Merefield & Henstridge F/D, Ridgemount, Pitts Lane, West Melbury, Shaftesbury, Dorset. SP7 0BU. Tel: 01747 853532.
Please feel free to wear a splash of colour.
