Bobby and Liz MacRae celebrated 60 happy years together with their loving family
It is not every day that a proposal of marriage is made down on one knee ... on the top of a double-decker bus.
Bobby, aged 83, was born in an air raid shelter during WWII in Dumbarton on the second night of a 1941 German bombing blitz on Clydebank. Due to her dad’s job, they lived on the Auchen Castle estate and she attended the old Moffat Primary and Moffat Academy schools, leaving aged 15. Her family moved to Ae Village in 1961.
He then went to work as a printer in Annan for the newspaper publisher of the Dumfries Courier, Annandale Observer, Annandale Herald and Moffat News, retiring in 2006.It was while she was walking on the High Street at lunchtime work breaks that she caught the eye of Bobby, who used to sit on a bench at the Midsteeple with his lunch.
