Paul Darling OBE KC
15th March 1960 – 2nd August 2024
It is with profound sadness that we announce the sudden death of our much-loved Director, Paul Darling. Paul died suddenly on Friday, and Darling’s Pharmacy offers its condolences to his brother Ian, his wife Camilla, and his whole family. Paul was part of Darlings for his whole life; he loved his home, and he was fiercely proud of his roots here in the North-East. He was, of course, also a passionate NUFC supporter and was rarely happier than when in the stands at St James Park.
There will be a condolences book in all three pharmacies for those who wish to remember Paul.
