LONG-serving Keighley football referee Squire Farrar has died at the age of 94.

Mr Farrar (pictured) spent more than 40 years refereeing matches far and wide.

He met his wife Jean at a dance and they were married 70 years ago.

The pair lived in Thwaites village, where their son Mick was born in 1944, and in the 1960s the family moved to Jean’s home village of Crossflatts.

The married couple both loved ballroom dancing at the Ritz and going on coach tours of the UK.
