Agenda item

Resolved unanimously - that this Honourable Court wishes to place on record its deep shock and sadness at the recent, untimely death of Sir Paul Rupert Judge.

Sir Paul, who served as Alderman for the Ward of Tower from 2007, as well as Sheriff of this City in 2013, sadly passed away earlier this week following complications of septicaemia. The sudden loss of a friend and colleague is a hard blow to all his colleagues in the Ward, the City Corporation and the Livery. It is to his family to whom our thoughts now turn and Members join in sending their sincere and heartfelt condolences to his wife, Lady Judge, and his two sons, Christopher and Michael, at this difficult time.

Consequently, Members rose for a minute’s silence in memory of Sir Paul.
