It is with great sadness that Sevenoaks RFC announce the loss of an important member of our rugby family. Robert Horner’s commitment to our club and the game as a whole was incomparable.
Robert has held many esteemed roles within the rugby world, as former President of Kent County, an RFU Council member and President of the RFU in 2003, when England won the Rugby World Cup. Robert was Chairman of Sevenoaks RFC from 1969 to 1972 as well as a Vice President and Honorary Life Member.
A regular at the club until recent times, attending our lunches and dinners, providing wise counsel in all matters rugby related, Robert has contributed greatly to the success of Sevenoaks rugby club, both past and present and we will carry his support forward with us in to the future.
We send our condolences to all his friends and family and to those in the wider rugby world, where so many will have felt fortunate to have met him.
Funeral to be held on Monday 12th August 2024 - 11.15am at:
Bluebell Cemetery, Old London Rd, Halstead, Sevenoaks TN14 7AE
