A fitting tribute to Steve “Babe” Phillips

Friday 6th February 2026

The community of Lyme Regis turned out in force today to pay their respects and celebrate the life of Steve “Babe” Phillips, a much-loved and well-known figure who for many years was the landlord of The Royal Standard

A packed service was held at St Michael’s Church before the hearse led mourners along the seafront to The Royal Standard. As the cortege made its way along the seafront, a beautiful rainbow appeared — a truly poignant moment.
