Brian’s Good News 24 July 2020

An Aberdeen couple Grace and George Riddell have celebrated a socially distanced 60th Wedding Anniversary at Rubislaw Park Care Home.  Grace sat in the vestibule with a large cake with George in the garden.  The couple enjoyed many wonderful years together. George puts the secret of their close relationship to one thing, "I just did what I was telt and that was it!"

A teenage girl who got into difficulties at Broughty Ferry Beach was rescued by Jenna Davidson from Aberdeen. The girl was being dragged away from the beach by currents.  Jenna was able to stand and was able to help the teenager who had gripped on to a buoy.  The local authority has since put up temporary signage to reinforce its message that people should not bathe at the beach as there is no life guard.

3 soldiers from 39 Engineer Regiment  at Kinloss Barracks in Moray have completed a challenge to cover 80-110 miles along the Formartine and Buchan Way.  Sgt Ledingham from Peterhead completed 110 miles in less than 24 hours even with a broken bone sustained early during the challenge.  They have raised £5,130 for the NHS. Well done guys.
