Hundreds of families are enjoying living in comfortable housing in Shetland – much to the thanks of 85-year-old Willy Henderson.
The former deputy director of housing for Shetland Islands Council has in the New Year’s Honours received a BEM for his voluntary services to numerous charities.
Mr Henderson said: “I am very surprised and very honoured. I have been working with local charities for almost five decades.
“Charities play a vital role in everyday life, no more than in today’s climate.”
