It is nice to see this photo of me handing over the flowers to the Queen Mother but it would have been even nicer if you had got my name right! Presenting the flowers is Josephine Grant daughter of Pete and Seona Grant formerly of Bridge Street. Please correct spelling of my mother's name too! I was thrilled to be asked to present the flowers and I had to practice doing so with Miss Strachan taking on the role of Queen Mother! (Also Headmaster was Alan Robertson)
