His father Cameron told us: “I don’t want people to be sad on that day.

“George was full of life, and he had a full life, and that is the spirit I would like this occasion to have.

“George is on a different journey now, and we should be looking at the high spots of his life, not the low ones.

“He will be buried first at Wairds at 11am, after which there will be a celebration of his life at Melrose Parish Church at 1pm.

“All will be made welcome – the more the merrier.”
