The Friends of Princess Pavilion, who launched the campaign that saw the Princess Pavilion saved from being turned to a block of flats, reunited to plant a tree in the venue's garden in memory of their most vocal member, Barbara Boase.

The group started their campaign in 1999, just as the Pavilion was about to be sold to developers. At its peak, the group had 394 members, and at one point they chained themselves to the front entrance in a defiant protest.

After nearly ten years of fundraising, campaigning, and petitioning, the group eventually succeeded in saving the iconic venue and in 2008 it was awarded £2.4 million of lottery funding and underwent major renovations.

Barbara Boase, the woman who was called 'Mrs Pavilion', got to see the result of her years of campaigning when the renovated venue was reopened in 2011. She sadly passed away in December.

Her husband Barry planted the tree to stand as a testament to the passion that his wife poured into the Pavilion, and the role she played in ensuring that Falmouth didn't have one of its iconic music venues turned into a block of flats.

The Friends of Princess Pavilion were formed by Barbara and Barry Boase, and their friend Gerry Brown.

In a tribute written after her passing, Jean Eustice said: "You, my dear, did so much for the people of Falmouth, with regard to the Princess Pavilion you worked so hard. I told Barry today you were in a lot of pain, only little in stature but with a big voice.

Without you my dear we would have lost the Pavilion.

I dread to think what would have happened to the Pavilion without your voice."

Michael Foy said: "She could be a bit like a dog with a bone sometimes, guns blazing."

Elaine Eddy said: "Thank you for all the hard work you did on behalf of the Princess Pavilion. Your warm smile, along with you, will be sadly missed but I hope you are smiling with the angels."
