Mr Perry had been a dedicated member of Dereham Boxing Club for 46 years, touching hundreds of lives and coaching, guiding and inspiring generations of boxers.
His dad, Henry, taught him to box, following a family tradition that stretched back 100 years and over three generations.
It is believed Mr Perry fought about 140 bouts in his amateur career, sometimes boxing twice or three times a week.
He joined Dereham Boxing Club in 1975 as a coach with his friend Kenny Harvey. At the time the club was in an old railway carriage behind the Railway Tavern. It later moved to Cherry Tree car park, then to Rash s Green and later to its current location in the car park of Breckland Business Centre.

Western art before the 20th-century was dominated by male artists. There had been celebrated female painters, such as Artemisia Gentileschi, Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun and Rosa Bonheur, but it wasn’t until the early 1900s that women began to enjoy comparable success with their male counterparts.
The exhibition features more than sixty works by the four artists
Now a new exhibition at the Laing Art Gallery explores this breakthrough which has been taken for granted for nearly a century. The roots of this lay in the Victorian era, when those born, raised and educated in the later decades of the 1800s were able to seize upon the huge changes in society, occurring during a time of burgeoning modernism, transformation and increasing emancipation.

The artist Gluck consistently broke gender norms. She wore masculine clothes, cut her hair short and smoked a pipe and, in 1918, in her early 20s, adopted the genderless name Gluck (“no prefix, suffix or quotes”, as she asserted). Although this self-portrait of 1942 is small in scale, as was much of Gluck’s work, it has tremendous presence

Kiwis’ unique ability to remain chilled out during not-very-chilled out moments has been captured in a new L&P campaign, ‘Space Manu’ under new brand platform ‘Drink Chilled’ via DDB Aotearoa.
The 60” spot kicks off with a determined DIY astronaut; Duncan, suspended from a weather balloon, teetering on the edge of space. Suspense builds as the Kiwi rocket-man leaps from his perch and begins to freefall towards Aotearoa, Earth.
Breaking through layers of cloud, contrails streaming, he does what any sensible Kiwi would do – he strips, right down to his old league shorts, and for reasons unknown, gracefully assumes a pike position, awaiting an undetermined landing.
It s an intense ride for a chilled out drink.
Soft Drink brand L&P has launched a new campaign to roll out their Drink Chilled platform in New Zealand. The 60-second spot was created by DDB Aotearoa.
It features an amateur astronaut jumping from space, flipping and spinning as he speeds toward the earth and an unknown future. He strips down to his shorts as he pierces through the clouds. Suspense builds. And boom…he lands perfectly into a pool surrounded by his chilled out friends.
How was his incredible jump from dangerous heights?
“Pretty good.”
It reminded us a bit of Amart Sofa’s furniture space jump campaign. Needless to say, we’re fans of anything hurling toward the earth at high speeds to sell a product.
