Mr Porter, pictured inset, was elected to the council as a Conservative councillor for Hutton and Locking in 2009, and was one of the most active councillors. He died peacefully at his home last week.

Michael Pryke (Clevedon Walton), leader of the council's opposition Conservative group, said he was “deeply saddened” to learn of Mr Porter's death. He said: “I will personally miss his advice and thoughtful contributions shared with his usual good humour and charm.”
