Further to our previous post remembering our much-loved Ray Close, we would like to share the arrangements for his funeral.

A celebration of Ray’s life will take place on:

Wednesday 7th October 2026
10.30am
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Cleland Park, Bangor

The committal will be private.

As a mark of love and respect for Ray, Ledley Hall will be closed on Wednesday evening, 7th October, with all evening club activities cancelled.

Our Breakfast Club and After School Learning Club will operate as normal. We recognise how much families rely on these services, particularly those who depend on them to meet their work commitments, and we want to ensure that this support remains in place.

Ray was one of Ledley Hall’s greatest success stories, but more importantly, he was one of our own. It is only fitting that we take this opportunity to honour his memory and pay our respects.

Our thoughts remain with Linda, Ray’s children, his mum, brothers, grandchildren and the entire Close family.

Some people become part of the history of a place. Others become part of its heart. Ray was both.

Rest easy, Ray. Forever one of our own. 🖤🥊

Everyone at Ledley Hall is absolutely devastated to hear of the passing of Ray Close.

Raymond’s boxing journey began here at Ledley Hall when he was just 10 years old. This was his boxing home, and he went on to become the most successful boxer in the history of our club — something we will always be incredibly proud of.

But for us, Ray was so much more than his achievements in the ring. He was one of our own.

He was a true gentleman, humble, kind and always willing to give something back. Ray returned to Ledley Hall to coach and support our boxers, sharing not just his knowledge and experience, but his time, encouragement and belief in the next generation.

To our young people, Ray was proof of what could be achieved. He was someone who had come through the same doors, trained in the same club and gone on to accomplish incredible things. His story has inspired generations of young people at Ledley Hall and will continue to do so.

There are some people who become part of the history and heart of a place, and Ray will always be part of ours.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with Linda, the entire Close family, and everyone who loved Ray.

We will remember him with enormous pride, affection and gratitude.

We will share details of Ray’s funeral arrangements once they are available.
