Derek Norman Obituary

Derek-Norman Derek Norman

It was sad to receive the news of the death of Derek Norman from the head of the British Weights & Measures Association (BWMA), which he had been an active member of for many years, as well as an active UKIP member in his part of Cambridgeshire.

He became well known as one of a team who, when given the location of illegal council signs showing distances in metric, they would have matching stickers with the correct imperial distances on them pre made which would look just like the signs being corrected dress as workmen and glue them on the metric signs.

His daughter, Vanda, wrote after being contacted by many who knew her father and said:

"So this is with a heavy heart for anyone that doesn't yet know. My beloved dad and my hero passed yesterday. he was a gentleman as well as a gentle man.

Ironically he passed on D Day, which was very dear to his heart due to his RAF service, fittingly a Lancaster bomber flew straight passed his window the day before, whilst wearing his RAF T-shirt.
I just want to thank everyone for all of your kind messages from far and wide. I am truly humbled!

I am so privileged to call him my dad. I know I share him with many who feel the same."
