A NEW memorial for “one of Scotland’s greatest sportsmen” was unveiled over the weekend. The gleaming white grave for the first black man to play for the Scottish men’s team, Andrew Watson, was revealed on Saturday. Llew Walker, a historian from Surrey, honoured the thrice-capped footballer at a ceremony in London’s Richmond Cemetery - Watson’s final resting place. The author of one of the few books on the man who brought the modern passing game to the south of England’s amateur teams, Llew worked with Scottish campaigner Alastair Firth to organise the renewal of Watson’s grave.
A funeral service has been held for a veteran from the Parachute Regiment, who had lived at a Mitcham care home for nearly 13 years. James Jimmy Ashdown had been living at HC-One s Fieldway care home in Mitcham when he sadly died aged 92. But his final sendoff at Richmond Cemetery last month saw history repeat itself. Jimmy was renowned for his tribute, at the age of 55, to a Regimental Sergeant Major at his funeral at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. He had walked 30 miles from his home in London to attend the service, donning his Parachute Regiment red beret and paying his respects with a wreath and red rose.
