Jon English died on the 10th March after complications resulting from what was supposed to be routine surgery.

The very talented and charismatic actor, singer/songwriter was just 66 years old, left behind an extensive and very impressive body of work on television, stage and the big screen.

Recently a public memorial service was held for Jon at the Capitol theatre. Over 2,000 people attended the event.

Here are photos from the Service taken by Ben Apfelbaum.

Rest in Peace Jon. You have left an enormous legacy. Or to use a  Walt Whitman phrase made famous in Dead Poet’s Society put it- Life’s powerful play goes on and you have contributed one almighty verse.
