Mayor’s tribute to Bill Morrison
Councillor Stevenson said: “It is with sadness that I record the passing of Ballymoney Born Playwright and Actor, Bill Morrison, son of the late Hugh Morrison who was headmaster of Ballymoney Model Primary School.
A former pupil of Dalriada School he excelled himself in sport and drama activities and went on to make a valuable contribution to the arts at home and abroad.
