The Dean of York, The Very Reverend Dr Vivienne Faull, today expressed her shock and sadness at the news of the death of The Lord Lieutenant for North Yorkshire, Barry Dodd CBE.

Commenting on the news, The Dean said:

“This is a very sad day.  Barry’s passing will of course be most acutely felt by his wife and family and friends.  He was greatly admired and he will be missed by a much wider community of people across North Yorkshire and beyond.  He was a dear colleague and adviser and a great friend and supporter of York Minster.  His loss is profound and will be deeply felt by a great many people. “
