I WAS so sorry to hear about Ian Dewhirst.

My memories of Ian go back to him as a young man showing me around the area as a new paper girl for his dad’s shop.

We had kept in touch occasionally as a family ever since.

I was therefore quite emotional when I saw that almost the last Memory Lane – Bishop’s dedication (Keighley News, January 24) – included a photo taken by my dad Robert Rawling.

There were a number of these photos taken, I assume because my mum was one of the St John Ambulance Brigade members in the parade.
