Flour mill shuts to remember bakery founder

An Island company says it'll close tomorrow as a mark of respect to the founder of its biggest customer.

Laxey Flour Mills will shut on Tuesday as Jim Duncan's funeral takes place at St Paul's Church in Ramsey from 11am.

Mr Duncan died on June 14 - he and his wife set up Ramsey Bakery in 1972.

Laxey Flour Mills says deliveries which are usually dropped off on Tuesday will be delivered today instead.

Following the sad news of Jim Duncan at Ramsey Bakery and as a sign of respect we will be closed on Tuesday 26th June 2018. All our usual Tuesday deliveries will be carried out on Monday 25th June. Thank you for your understanding.
