I have just removed a gas fire from my living room and the precast
flue is now defunct. How feasible/advisable would it be to completely
seal the flue? I was thinking in terms of filling it with some sort of
lightweight(?) concrete and then fitting a normal ridge tile in place
of the ridge vent, the idea being to avoid the necessity of a vent
grille in the living room.

Any ideas welcome -

Is the flue on an outside wall? If so, vent it to the outside.

No - it's on a party wall :-(

would venting the flue in an upstairs room do the job ?
