Iconic hero: Tribute paid to John Fordyce

The funeral of local war hero John Fordyce was held in Law Parish Church on Thursday, July 17.

John, of Muir Street, Law, served with the Allied forces during WW2 and was one of the first to land on France on D Day, 1944.

A member and Kirk Elder with Law Parish Church, both John and his wife Anna were participants in the Billy Graham 'Tell Scotland' Crusade of the 1950s.

For the rest of his life, John would retain those close links with the church.
