Former Harrogate Toy Fair organiser Graham Scott has sadly passed away, aged 83.

Graham initially joined the show organising team in the late 1970s, taking over from former organiser Jeff Aldam in the early 1980s. Graham held the position until his retirement in 2002.

His funeral is being held this Thursday at 3.45pm. The venue is Aldershot Crematorium, Guildford Rd, Aldershot GU12 4BP.

During his 20 year tenure, Graham made many toy industry friends, and was hugely well-liked and respected throughout the toy community.
