The motion

That this House mourns the passing of Gerry Keating, former Newcastle upon Tyne City Councillor for Blakelaw and then North Jesmond, a teacher at Newcastle Royal Grammar School, as well as a long distance runner, a liberal, eccentric, maker and enjoyer of political mischief, contrarian, rugby league fanatic and, most importantly, a kind, loving and beloved husband, father, grandfather and friend; celebrates Gerry's life of committed service to his community, his passion for his politics and his inspirational impact on thousands of pupils; and sends its heartfelt condolences to his wife Lucy, all his family and friends.
