Tribute unveiled to 'true gentlemen' grocer

Jack Kaye ran his grocer's shop off Newland Avenue, Hull, for more than 50 years, before it closed shortly before the millennium.

He is a celebrated local figure and now his daughter, Beryl Burazin, has unveiled a tribute to remember his contribution to the local community.

The shop was open seven days a week between 1947 and 1998.

Beryl said he thrived on hard work and went above and beyond for his customers.

One comment about Jack on social media read: "A true gentlemen and the last of the traditional shop owners."
