Devil Horns Tribute Respectful in Churchyard Setting
10 Mar
Summary
- A devil horn tribute to Keith Flint is in a churchyard.
- Reverend Rod Reid stated the design was respectful.
- The tribute was designed by band members and approved by family.
A devil horn tribute created to honor Prodigy frontman Keith Flint has been installed at St Mary's Church in Bocking, Essex. This location is significant as it is near where the influential band was founded in Braintree and where the singer grew up.
The tribute, a silhouette of devil horns etched onto a bench backrest, reflects Flint's distinctive hairstyle. Reverend Rod Reid, who officiated Flint's funeral in 2019, stated that both the band and Flint's family were highly respectful in their design choices.
Reid emphasized that the design was created with full awareness of the churchyard setting. He noted the positive reactions from the local community, many of whom have fond memories of seeing Flint and bandmate Liam Howlett in their early days in Braintree.
The design of the bench was a collaborative effort, involving band manager John Fairs and Prodigy founder Liam Howlett, with final approval from Flint's family. This memorial offers a sense of pride for local residents who have supported The Prodigy throughout their career. An additional tribute to Flint already exists in Braintree, a mural spray-painted on a water tank at the local football club.
