We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of Gilly Parkman who passed away suddenly last week.

Also with personal heartache our thoughts and condolences go to the family and many friends of Simon Breach who was sadly killed last week. There are so many people that knew Simon. He was a young gent, always full of life, laughter and always there to lend a hand if you needed it. The village is reeling with shock that such a lovely bloke has been taken so soon at such a young age. Robertsbridge will not be the same without him popping up from time to time.
