Very sad news. I think I only once actually saw her, briefly a few years ago as a small head peering over the top of the bar as she sat behind, but her influence and presence in the hearts and minds of everyone at the club was obvious, even recently when she wasn't living there any more.

I've heard that the pub is now in safe hands and likely to continue to be run along similar lines as before. It's almost as if Elsie was waiting for that to happen before letting it go.
