In this image, a full-sized saxophone is reimagined as a stunning floral tribute, standing upright against an immaculate white backdrop so that every detail of its shape and colour is easy to discern. The entire instrument-from the narrow mouthpiece to the generously flared bell-is covered with a close-knit layer of bright yellow chrysanthemum heads, their tiny, densely packed petals creating a soft, cushion-like surface that follows each curve of the saxophone's iconic profile. The yellow feels uplifting and hopeful, akin to the glow of morning light over the streets of Hornsey, providing a sense of comfort even in a funeral setting. Scattered artfully along the floral body of the saxophone are numerous small, deep red spray roses, each placed where keys and mechanics would normally sit. They punctuate the design with jewel-like points of colour, embodying affection, respect, and a life celebrated through music. Interwoven among the chrysanthemums are fine strands of deep green foliage or slender ivy-like vines, particularly visible along the neck and lower curve, giving the tribute a three-dimensional quality and a gentle sense of movement. Barely visible silver or green floral wires trace certain sections, hinting at the internal support that enables the arrangement to stand tall while subtly echoing the instrument's metal parts. Near the mouthpiece, delicate wires extend upwards, adding a faint suggestion of a reed or melodic flourish. This bespoke design would feel perfectly at home at a Hornsey memorial or funeral, honouring a saxophonist, band member, or music lover whose story is best told through rhythm and song. The combination of radiant yellow blooms and red roses offers a powerful visual message of remembrance, joy, and enduring love.

A saxophone rendered entirely in flowers stands proudly against a clear white background, its silhouette crisp and instantly recognisable, as if it could spring to life and fill a Hornsey hall with music. The main structure of the instrument is built from tightly packed, small yellow chrysanthemum florets, arranged to follow the gentle sweep of the neck, the rounded main body, and the flared bell at the base. These sunny blooms create a soft, textured skin over the saxophone, their warm tone suggesting optimism, friendship, and shared memories that stretch from Hornsey's leafy streets to nearby Alexandra Palace concerts. Scattered across this yellow field are clusters of small, rich red rosebuds, carefully placed where the saxophone's keys would lie. Each bud acts like a tiny visual accent, adding depth and a sense of rhythm to the design, while symbolising deep affection and heartfelt tribute. Around the edges, particularly along the instrument's graceful curves, run fine strands of deep green foliage, similar to slender ivy or trailing vine, softening the outline and adding an organic, flowing feel. These green lines, together with the gentle shadows on the white background, give the tribute dimension and presence. At the upper left, in the area of the mouthpiece, a few thin green or metallic wires emerge delicately, alluding to the reed and to the hidden craftsmanship holding the piece together. This imaginative floral sculpture feels especially fitting for a funeral or memorial celebrating a musician, jazz enthusiast, or anyone from the Hornsey community whose life was intertwined with song, offering a unique way to say goodbye with colour, texture, and the quiet suggestion of a lingering melody. This photograph features a large funeral tribute in the distinctive shape of a saxophone, thoughtfully crafted for someone whose life in Hornsey was intertwined with music. Set against a clean white backdrop, the instrument's graceful contours are clearly defined: a slender body that sweeps gently upward, a smooth bend in the neck, and a softly opening bell resting at the bottom of the frame. The entire surface is richly paved with yellow chrysanthemums, each small bloom pressed snugly against its neighbours to create a lush, tactile texture that suggests warmth and comfort. The yellow has a mellow, golden quality, reminiscent of an aged brass sax resting under mellow stage lights in a cosy Crouch End venue. Overlaying this sunny base, a series of orange-red spray roses marches along the line where keys would usually sit, the tiny blossoms providing bright, almost musical accents that guide the eye from bell to neck. Small sprays of fresh green foliage sit between the roses, lending depth and a sense of natural movement, as if a gentle breeze were stirring around the arrangement. Discreet green wires and framework support the curves, visible only in fleeting glimpses, hinting at the skill and time required to construct such a piece. A soft, blurred shadow beneath the tribute shows that it stands slightly raised, ready to be placed beside a coffin or at the front of a service. Emotionally, the design feels uplifting rather than sombre, inviting mourners to remember the joy, rhythm, and personality of the person it honours, much like a favourite song that continues to play in the mind long after the final note.
