TRIBUTES have been paid to “a joyful little boy” who touched the lives of so many in East Lothian. Seven-year-old Benjamin Davey died at Edinburgh’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children after suffering heart failure on Friday. The youngster, who had a number of health conditions, was well known in his home town of Dunbar but also further afield. His mum Alex, who works with the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, said: “Benjamin was a joyful little boy. “He was so uncomplicated and he had so much love. “He saw the beauty in the simplest things and he taught us so much.

A Women’s Institute (WI) has celebrated its centenary year in different circumstances.
In normal times, Wraxall WI meets on the third Thursday of the month at 7.30pm in The Cross Tree Centre, behind Wraxall Church.
The group’s very first meeting was held on November 25, 1920, which was organised by a Mrs Brew. The president was Mrs Davey and the population of Wraxall at the time was 900 people.
The first proper minutes were not taken until September 1922, Mrs Brew had died the previous year which had obviously caused the group some difficulties. Mrs Davey was still president and there were 40 members who met in the hut’.
