George Pickles the Hornblower from 2003 to 2015. THE ROLE AND DUTIES OF HORNBLOWER ARE NOW CARRIED OUT BY A TEAM OF DEPUTIES ON A ROTA BASIS. George pickles is therefore the last person to singularly hold the office of Ripon Hornblower, the last in a long line of dedicated citizens over the centuries.
