@EmmaCondiens4i In my mum’s case, we had a dedicated public servant who spent many years fighting for the people she represented. Maybe think before you post and try to be less needlessly offensive?

Very sad to hear that Flick Rea, one of our longest-serving London councillors, has passed away aged 88. From meeting her in the 90s to my last campaign trip to Camden earlier this year, she never stopped smiling, campaigning, and being the amazing Liberal she was.

I’m very sad to have to say that my mother @FlickRea ,who served with distinction as the Liberal Democrat councillor for Fortune Green ward on Camden Council for 35 years until her retirement in 2021, died early this morning at the age of 88. She’d been ill for some time.

Another photo from the past with Flick Rea. Up on the hill by the seafront in Bournemouth with the Lib Dems during conference season. (Recognise the chap two from the left?)

@jscott110 @FlickRea It really won’t. And there are so many of her puddings I’m going to miss - especially the meringues and the port wine jelly

@robertrea @FlickRea So sad to hear this news. Flick was an amazing person. Very sorry for your loss. I remember a litter pick in West Hampstead having Flick’s famous lemon cake as a reward for finishing. The Jester festival won’t be the same without her. 😢

@robertrea @FlickRea Robert. I know the area very well. Your mother looks familiar and I even know at least one of her opposing candidates. I offer you my sincere condolences.

I'm very sorry to hear that Flick Rae has died. She had a huge impact in Fortune Green and was an indomitable force in Camden Council. Whatever your political parry, Flick's was a voice that could never be ignored. I send my thoughts and condolences to her family and loved ones.

@robertrea @FlickRea Very sorry to hear this news. I served on London Area Arts council with your mother and she was always charming and worked hard in a non partisan way to ensure Arts funding reached some of the smaller, up and coming arts groups. My condolences to you and your family 🙏🏾
