Thye untimely death of Ted Clegg has been announced.

It is with sadness that 4BR has been informed of the death of Ted Clegg.

Ted started his playing career with Meltham and Meltham Mills
in the 1940's, joined the Royal Artillery, then Scots Guards, then
returned to Yorkshire where he taught brass in schools for over 20
years.

He was on an engagement with the West Yorkshire Police Band and
passed away when he returned to his car after the engagement.

The funeral is at 12.00am at St Mary's Church Honley on Monday 19th
May. Friends and colleagues are welcome.
