Tributes have been paid to a legendary baker who worked at his family s bakery since he was a boy until his death, aged 85.
Raabs the Bakers will be closed on Monday (May 24) when Michael Raab s funeral is held, after he died on May 15.

But he was always keen to tell his family that its history dates way back further than this to Austria, where his grandfather had run a bakery too.
MRS Lieselotte Gisela Harries, of Main Street, Pembroke, died peacefully on February 24, 2021. Affectionately known as Lotti, she was born in Krefeld, Germany in 1926 and was raised with her two brothers Stefan and Wilhelm. She trained as a German/ English translator, before working as a nurse during the Second World War, meeting her future husband David Harries, a serving soldier in the British Army. They married in Pembroke Dock, which was the home of her husband’s side of the family, and then moved to their new home at Allenbrook Cottage in Dale to raise a family, and assist in the running of a market garden business.
