We have this week received sad news from Rhondda Camera Club of the passing of one of their past president and well respected elder statesmen, Laurence Saurin (known to all as Laurie).
Laurie served Rhondda Camera Club for many years as president and was well known by many for his services as a proud Welsh Guardsman and protector of the Royal family. One of his many claims to fame was that he was the first guardsman to model for Queen Elizabeth 11 the guardsman’s fur hat, commonly known as the Busby, which is still worn with pride.
He was a true gentleman who will be sadly missed by all who knew him.
Laurie’s funeral will take place at Glyntaff Crematorium, Pontypridd at 1:00pm. on Monday 15th December, 2025 for those wishing to pay their respects.
