A special gathering was held to remember two Bentley ringers, Graeme Keel and Mike Ewin, who sadly passed away within 24 hours of each other. Both were recruited from within the village and learned to ring in time for Ring for the King. Graeme went on to become a full member of the Winchester and Portsmouth Guild.
Graeme and Mike were deeply involved in village life, and their loss has been profoundly felt throughout the community—especially by their widows, both named Caroline, who were also next-door neighbours.
Though we are poorer for their passing, we are immensely richer for having shared time with them, doing what we love.
Our ringing tribute was shared with Sophie Croft, Matt, and his son Jack Luard, landlords of the Star Inn, Bentley.

His warmth, guidance, and tireless commitment to our community have left an indelible mark, and he will be profoundly missed by all who have had the privilege of knowing him. While we are saddened to see him go, we celebrate this next chapter in his ministry and wish him every success in his new role. Rung by Sunday Service Band.
