Professor Ivor Delme Bowen passed away on 25 March 2026, aged 82. Delme was a stalwart of the national movement and stood for Plaid Cymru at every level. He served the people of Taff Ely as the councillor in Pontyclun and later as boundaries changed in Creigiau which subsequently moved into the City of Cardiff.
He was a larger than life character who was largely responsible for the long established support for Plaid Cymru in the southern part of Taff Ely.
He will be missed by everyone that knew him.
