Young, who qualified in 1977, was a consultant solicitor at national firm Tuckers and four-time president of the West London Law Society. After the ceremony, the scroll was carried through the streets to the synagogue, accompanied by a traditional Klezmer band. In a speech, Mayor of Islington Jason Jackson described Young as a man of deep faith, a defender of human rights and a servant of justice. ‘His values are values that speak to us all: principle, courage, and service to others. It is fitting that his name will be carried forward in the most sacred of texts, a legacy of wisdom and guidance,’ the mayor added.
