SAD NEWS FOR BROUGHTON

Submitted by Editor on

John Dickie will stir no more

John Dickie (83), founding editor of the Broughton Spurtle (1994–2006), died in the small hours of this morning.

 

His death occurred peacefully at the Western General Hospital, where he had been ill for some time. Loved ones were at his side constantly as the end neared.

 

Holiday-related delays, and John’s decision to leave his body to medical science, mean that the timing of funeral arrangements cannot yet be established. We’ll publicise them here when we know more.

So named in the days before oranges arrived and suggested a new word for a distinct colour. 

These individuals all photographed in Warriston Cemetery. Interesting variety in shape, tones and markings.
