Long standing lRNPS member and ex-CPO Pete Jones and CPO Carol Fell tied the knot up in Coulter near Biggar on 22nd August 2008. The service at the Culter Kirk took on an exceptional Naval theme with "The Naval Hymn" and "Will your Anchor hold".  22 kilts were on parade and 4 RNPS pipers (including the groom) played at the wedding with the honours at the kirk falling to Alister Willder. Paddy Grayell and Dave Maitland were the other two performers although all of us were kept in check by the wives! It was a splendid reception with a distinctly Scottish flavour to the menu, followed by Scottish Country Dancing and the odd dram or two! But a great time was had by all and there were a few sore heads the following morning.
