Saying goodbye to Kathy

 

Kathy King, former Liberal Councillor, passed away earlier this month. She was a real character who added colour to council meetings and was a great advocate of the people of Birtley in Gateshead who she represented. Local politics without her will be duller. She will be missed.

Kathy's funeral was yesterday and I attended the service at St Joseph's RC Church, Birtley. A good crowd was there and I was pleased to see the mayor attending as well.
