This campaign is in honour of Alastair Rae who sadly succumbed to covid 19 at the age 62. He was deeply loved by all who met him from his proud family, to local community especially his part in the local theatrical societies and his past career in the army. He is also known for being Sergeant Rae in Bad Lad's Army. He had a positive influence on all he met with his calm manner and enthusiasm for life. He will be deeply missed by family and friends. He was often involved in charity events for St Mary's hospice a charity that was close to his heart.
