Known to many under the affectionate name of "Mr Flora Day," Len Oliver has died at the age of 91.
Mr Oliver founded the housing furniture company Oliver and Son (Helston) Ltd - now run by his son Chris - at the tender age of 19.
He was perhaps most recognisable in his top hat and tails, proudly leading the dances on Flora Day in his role as steward for many years. He was also honorary secretary for 40 years.
There will be a private family cremation service, with a service of thanksgiving held on Saturday, September 22 at 2.30pm, at Breage Church.
For a full obituary see next Wednesday's Helston Packet.
