Former Cumbernauld councillor steps down as Deputy Lord Lieutenant
A former Cumbernauld councillor who swopped one civic duty for another has retired as the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire.
Condorrat Labour man Gerry McElroy is standing down after a decade in the role but was given a proper send off after receiving a commemorative quaich from the Lord Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire Jill Young.
Gerry said: " It has been a quick ten years and has been a great honour for myself and my family. The various activities,celebrations and presentations I have attended has shown the County at its very best. Meeting The Queen and The Princess Royal are occasions I will never forget.
"It has been a real pleasure to serve.”
