A wonderful pattern of enthusiasm and happiness was set by braw lad Bruce Dorward and his lass, Valerie Lyall, along with their attendants, all embracing their duties with a great amount of keenness.
They were given never-ending support by the four attendants, bearer of the sod Stuart Keddie, bearer of the red roses Mary Meehan, bearer of the stone Iain Rackham and bearer of the white roses Pat Barnes...here’s all the Southern’s old photos from that day.
