Every day, Leeds communities must say their final farewells to family members, friends, colleagues, neighbours and many others figures who have played a unique part in local life.
Here we make a space to recognise those whose deaths have been announced in the pages of the Yorkshire Evening Post this week.
The listings below say where they will be remembered, including funeral arrangements, and how to leave your own tributes.
The Yorkshire Evening Post’s death notices can be viewed and submitted to through our legacy.com page. The page also has space for readers to submit their own memories and comments.
