Herbert Ditty
Herbert Ditty (died 1998) was a lifelong Ulster Unionist politician, representing the Shankill Road, Belfast, Northern
Ireland.

Ditty was a founding member of the Ulster Protestant Action executive in the 1950s.[1]

He was elected as High Sheriff of Belfast (1985–1986); became Deputy Lord Mayor of Belfast (1991–1992) and Lord
Mayor (1992–1993).

In 1993 he garnered negative publicity from some quarters for receiving the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Gay Mitchell, as a
"foreign visitor" ([1] (https://web.archive.org/web/20070927194255/http://www.uhb.fr/langues/Cei/chron93.htm)).
