Pupils say fond farewell to their special minister John

Glasgow primary pupils have given a big send-off to the Very Rev John Miller, who is to retire next month after almost four decades as a minister in Castlemilk - a role which meant he was also the chaplain of Windlaw and Tormusk primary schools.

Former Moderator John, 66, and his wife Mary, 60, are leaving next month for a new life helping HIV/Aids victims in Zimbabwe.

Windlaw and Tormusk primaries are now being combined to form a £6million super-school, which is due to open in August.

And as a lasting tribute to the man who has christened, counselled and married generations of Castlemilk children, the new school is to be named Miller Primary.

Full story at the Evening Times, Glasgow.
