Subscriber only A leading Queensland National Party identity and pastoralist Sir William Allen whose funeral was attended by hundreds of mourners in Brisbane yesterday combined a commanding statesmanship with a quiet dignity, according to those who knew him best. William Allen, often just Bill to his friends, was a giant of the old National Party, a prominent figure in grazing, active in regional tourism and the owner of radio stations including 4IP which was at one time the most popular station in Brisbane. Sir William died last Thursday week at the age of 88, his death drawing hundreds of mourners from the state s media, pastoral and political worlds into St Stephen s Cathedral in Elizabeth Street yesterday to join Sir William s family in an affectionate farewell.

Sir William Allen, who served as governor of The Central Bank of The Bahamas and later minister of finance, died at his New Providence home yesterday after a long illness. He was 83.
Former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham, in expressing condolences to Sir William’s family, said his contribution to the development and advancement of The Bahamas is immeasurable.
Ingraham noted that Allen returned home from the United States in 1970 to take up a post as research manager at the Central Bank. He went on to serve as deputy governor and ultimately as governor of the bank. He was appointed to that post on June 1, 1980 after the resignation of the late Timothy Baswell Donaldson from the post.
