In Memory of Councillor Ian Gillies, who served as Lord Mayor of York for the 2014/15 civic year.
During his term in office Ian supported many of the Friends of York Walls activities, including promoting the “Walking Guide to York’s City Walls” book.
Aged 78, he has died just over a fortnight after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. Mr Gillies had been a Conservative councillor for Rural West York, for 12 years when he retired in 2019, twice serving as Conservative group leader, and also as City of York Council leader. A funeral service is set to be held on Friday, December 27 at 11.30am at All Saints’ Church in North Street in York city centre.
