Richard Chandler, associate principal bassoon of the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra in New Zealand was knocked off his bike and killed by a passing train as he rode along a footpath at a railway crosssing.

Richard, 52, studied at the Guildhall in London and was an accomplished pianist with a busy teaching practice.

Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
