Yesterday, October 14th 2006, over 80 friends, relatives and nationalist comrades from the BNP, NA, BPP and NF gathered in Leeds to say farewell to local Leeds Nationalist Pete Taylor, formerly local NF organiser and latterly BNP member. Pete died in tragic circumstances a couple of weeks previously at the tender age of 45 which made the loss even more upsetting for all those who knew him. Pete leaves a wife, children and grandkids and we offer our condolences to them and the rest of his family at this sad time.

Pete had been involved in the nationalist movement since leaving the Navy after the Falklands conflict in 1982 in which he sailed with the British convoy despatched to rescue that distant part of the British Empire. Pete was well liked by all who met him and it was good to see so many patriots in attendance at his funeral.

Perhaps the only thing that was encouraging about this sad occasion was that fellow Nationalists from all organisations stood together united in grief at the loss of a true comrade who died well before his time.
