A memorial service is being held today to remember former Kent and England fast bowler Graham Dilley.

A host of former team-mates are expected to attend the service at Worcester Cathedral at 2.30pm following the 1981 Ashes winning hero’s death last month, aged 52. A private funeral was held on October 14.

Dilley (pictured) played for Kent between 1977 and 1986 before moving to Worcestershire and played an important part in the county winning four trophies in three seasons.

The fast bowler took 648 wickets in 234 first-class games, while his record for England was 138 wickets in 41 Tests.
