Gladys Merley Dickson MBE

I attended the funeral of Gladys at West Green Baptist Church on Friday 15 July 2026. 

Gladys son, Chris Symonds is a door keeper at the House of Commons and paid a fitting tribute to his mum. 

So it was with sadness that we said goodbye to Gladys who for many years looked after MPs in the tea room.  

Here are the tributes from MPs and former MPs. 

Gladys, rest in peace.
