A man who has contributed to life-saving work in the west of Scotland says he was 'taken aback' when he received an invitation to the Queen's state funeral
A man who has contributed to life-saving work in the west of Scotland says he was "taken aback" when he received an invitation to the Queen's state funeral. Stuart McLellan, from Renfrewshire, was made an MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours in June.
"It's a sad occasion... I'm in a lot of organisations that the Queen has been sovereign head of, I've never had the opportunity of meeting the Queen, but the fact that I've actually been included as one of the last MBE recipients under the Queen has been pretty remarkable. I'm delighted to be included. I think it'll be a sad occasion, but it'll be nice to be part of a historic event.
"In 2018, we got the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, which is the equivalent of an MBE for voluntary groups. I got nominated for an MBE following that."
