It is with great sadness that the family of Mr Denis (Den) Compton announce his passing after a brief illness. Denis passed away peacefully at home, on the 12th September 2023, at the age of 79.

Denis was our dearly loved husband, father, grandfather and great grandfather, and he will be greatly missed by all of his loving family and close friends.

Rather than flowers, we are requesting donations to either of the following two charities.

Retraining of Racehorses (RoR) is British Horseracing’s official charity for the welfare of horses that have retired from racing. People who knew Denis will know his love of horse racing and the family feel this is a fitting charity for him. https://www.justgiving.com/page/retraining-of-racehorses-1695394767352/donate

East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust Charitable Fund. Denis and his family received outstanding care and support from the ambulance crew who attended in his final hours and the family would like to recognise and support them. https://www.justgiving.com/page/east-of-england-aumbulance-service-1695394507133/donate
