Afterword

David BISHOP

Canterbury

Posted 8 August 2026

Dave, "I like to ride my Bicycle, I like to Ride My Bike" Bishop, died on Wednesday night, while at home with his wife Joy. Although we're pretty sure he's pedalling towards the "April Sun in Cuba" listening to Sibelius Symphony No. 2. So it's Goodbye Love. Joy, Liz, Chris, Rich, Aneirin and Larkin. Love you always.

A Celebration of Dave's life will be held at the Mary Potter Community Centre, on Tuesday, August 11 at 2.00pm. Wear your brightest colours.
