Flags outside the Guildhall, the Council House and at the Belvedere, on the Hoe, were lowered to half-mast in memory of the Labour politician who was lord mayor from 2008 to 2009, described as a gentleman, environmental champion and “true friend” to Plymouth.
Tributes have poured in from across the political spectrum. Tudor Evans, leader of the Labour group at Plymouth City Council, recalled a dignified figure, a respected councillor and valued friend, notable for his sense of humour.
Cllr Evans said: “Myself and all my colleagues in the Labour group are extremely saddened. Brian had a great sense of humour and was always available for a few words of advice, when needed.
“He was a talented councillor who always conducted himself on the council with great dignity and politeness to everyone. Plymouth has lost a true friend. Our condolences go to his family and friends.”
Cllr Mark Shayer, Tory interim leader of Plymouth City Council, said: “Brian was a hugely dedicated councillor, he was well respected by everyone and will be sorely missed. He was a defender of local decision-making, a committed public servant and a champion for the people he represented.
“His loss will be felt by all councillors, regardless of politics. He will be sorely missed. All our thoughts and sympathies are with his family and friends at this sad time.”
