News of Mr Bullen’s death at the age of 90 was announced on social media by his granddaughter on behalf of the family.

She said: “My grandad, Rod Bullen sadly passed away this week, many Wisbechians will know him from his beloved businesses in Wisbech started by his father, the last shop the family has is Evisons and is run by his son Neil Bullen, and now joined by his grandson Toby.

“He was a wonderful father, father-in-law, and an amazing grandad and great grandad, I won’t bore everyone with quite how brilliant, funny, and what a fabulous magician, quiz master, and videographer he was. The world truly has lost one of the best.”

Over the years he was a busy member of the town, involved in the chamber of trade, and Conservative Club, playing sports, snooker, and football, and was involved in exchange clubs with Holland and Germany amongst many other things.
