Our sincere condolences to all the Tudor family. Richard was a great man who gave so much to Welsh and British agriculture and his loss will he be deeply felt by all those who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family at this deeply upsetting time.
We lost an amazing man yesterday evening in a tragic tractor accident. My Dad/Richard was a man that will never be forgotten and there will always be a gap in his place. He meant so much to so many people and his enthusiasm and generosity will be missed by us all
