Search A retired Fife police officer has been hailed as a hero following his death.
Constable Alexander (Sandy) Marr passed away earlier this month after serving in Fife Constabulary for more than 20 years.
He joined the force in 1963 and was a well-known community officer in the Templehall area of Kirkcaldy.
On 25 October 1975, he saved the young girl s life while he was carrying out house to house inquiries for a murder investigation in Leslie and was awarded a British Empire Medal (BEM) for his brave actions.
The details of this incident were later recorded as an entry in the Roll of Heroes of Carnegie Hero Trust Fund, Dunfermline.
