Mr Rogers died in hospital at Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor, shortly after his 85th birthday last week.

He was elected in 1999, but fell out with his party after being placed seventh on the Conservative list of candidates for the north Wales regional seat at the following election, in 2003.

He said at the time he had been “shell-shocked and wounded” when the list appeared and that “the party have cast me aside”.

Mr Rogers later stood as an independent candidate for Ynys Môn in the general election of 2005 and the 2007 Senedd election, and also served as a councillor on the island’s council between 2004 and 2022.

Millar said he was “deeply saddened to hear about Peter Rogers’ passing”.

“Peter was a passionate advocate for rural Wales and a steadfast champion for the countryside and our farming communities.

“He will be sorely missed by those who knew him.

“My heartfelt condolences go out to his friends and family during this difficult time.”
