The father-of-three had been involved in Blackfriars since the 1960/70s, when he performed there with the Allen School of Dance.

Blackfriars chairman Stuart Bull said: “We’re very grateful for this donation, especially in memory of Richard.

“Richard was a great supporter of Blackfriars and was heavily involved for years, being a trustee.

“We hope he will be pleased with the refurbishment works we have undertaken in recent years, and that he would be happy with this donation going towards further projects.”
