He said: "Eric played an important role in the Royal British Legion over the years and was also closely involved with the Royal Air Forces Association.

"He made a major contribution to the borough and my sympathy goes to Isobel at this very sad time."

Meanwhile, at the monthly meeting of Carrick Borough Council on Monday, members observed a minute's silence in memory of former firefighter and bowler Billy McMenamin, who died suddenly at his home in Whitehead on Thursday.

They also remembered William Cumming, who died on September 24.
