A sad farewell to Worcester benefactor Cecil Duckworth

A sad farewell to Cecil IT was with a sad heart I stood outside the Cathedral on Friday to pay my respects to a very well-loved Freeman of Worcester, Cecil Duckworth CBE. Many people were there to mark the final journey of a man who brought so much good and joy to Worcester citizens and visitors alike. Cecil made a difference to so many people’s lives through his generosity and the benevolence he brought to this city. Similar roadside tributes were made at Acorns Hospice where he was a major original benefactor; at New Road where he was president of Worcestershire Cricket Club; at Sixways where his foresight made the club the success it is today and at Worcester Bosch where he developed the first combustion boiler. Cecil’s success not only brought him happiness but it also brought happiness to the community, as he enjoyed sharing his financial success with others. I feel proud to have known him and offer my sincere condolences to his family for their loss.
