Yesterday we had the honour of conducting the service of a much loved gentleman. Alister Eadie had been a lifelong supporter of The Hollies Musselburgh and attended himself regularly in recent years, particularly enjoying the Veterans Club (Hollies Hero's) which runs every Monday. Our resident piper and a fellow veteran Jordan the piper played at The Hollies as Alister's cortege drove past. A beautiful touch for a well loved and respected gentleman who will be very sorely missed by his family and in the local community.
Rest in peace Alister.
