I would like to send my heartfelt thanks for these condolences and for the outstanding representation from the Royal Scots at my dad’s funeral yesterday. Serving his country was something he was immensely proud of and his army days were truly some of the most beloved and important of his life. Having that respect on his final journey meant the world and I know it is what he would have wanted. Many thanks, Lauren, Stephen’s daughter x
Rest In Peace Stevie,
