She said: He was a lovely guy, he was a joy. I put him forward as Lord Mayor and was so happy to serve as his deputy. He was so lovely, he has a lovely wife and a lovely family and he was a really good friend to me. I always felt like part of his family, he always made you feel welcome and I m really upset by this, it s so shocking I still can t believe its true. I thought he was starting to get better; it s a shock. He will be truly missed, I went to Pakistan with him last year and it was such a good time, we laughed every day.
