Tribute has been paid to a popular farmer who was re-nowned for never missing a milk round when he used to deliver by horse and cart.

George Emmott, of Long Lee Hall farm, Keighley, died sud-denly, aged 82, at his home on New Year's Eve and his funeral was held last week.

Friend and neighbour Jack Robinson, 82, said: "He used to deliver milk to us. In those days there were no milk bot-tles, but there were milk cans. George used to put the ladle into the can and put the milk into your jug.

"He was a nice fellow. Every-body liked him. He will be really missed.

"He was delivering milk right up until the day he retired. Everyone will tell you that there wasn't one day when he didn't deliver his milk. He was friends with everyone."
