There was plenty of bubbly on the big day as a dozen friends joined the couple, who tied the knot at St Andrew’s Church in Blairgowrie 60 years ago.

Many in and around Alloa and Sauchie will be familiar with Mr Webster, who served as a doctor at the old Hallpark health centre for numerous years and is known to most as Bob.

Nowadays, Margo, neé McAndrew, is an avid bridge player and still enjoys some golf as well.

The Websters also received a card from the King while staff at the nursing home made sure the party was all set up with balloons, old photos, food and drinks.

Audrey Love, wellbeing co-ordinator at Hillview Court, spoke of a “lovely” couple who thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon buffet in the company of their many friends.
