The British conductor Sir Neville Marriner who founded the Academy of St Martin in the Fields in 1958, died last Saturday aged 92.
Sir Neville began his career as a violinist, playing with the London Symphony Orchestra. Along with the Academy of St Martin in the Fields, he eventually became one of the most recorded musicians in history.
Just 2 years ago, Sir Neville became the oldest conductor to conduct at the BBC Proms after first performing there as a violinist in 1953.
