Ramsey Commissioner Wilf Young dies 

Ramsey Town Commissioner Wilf Young has died.

He'd served on the local authority board for 24 years after being elected in 2002.

The local authority says he proudly held a number of roles during his time including as deputy lead member for parks and leisure and deputy lead member for housing.

Deputy Chairman Sandra Cottam-Shea said he was 'never shy of expressing his opinion' and his local knowledge of Ramsey will 'rarely be matched'.

She added: "We would like to send our heartfelt condolences to Wilf’s family, friends and loved ones.

"Wilf was a commissioner for the best part of 24-years. 

"Always true to his values, never shy of expressing his opinion and he leaves a legacy of great one-line statements that got his message across.

"His local knowledge of Ramsey, the Isle of Man, coastlines and her sea will rarely be matched, and I know that Wilf will be part of our glorious Manx folklore in future years.

"You will be missed Wilf - thank you for your service.”
