Dumfries NHS worker retires after 50 years

For many within the NHS this week has been about celebrating 75 years of the health service.

But for one man 50 was the most important number as he retired after five decades, having worked at all three DGRIs.

Stephen Kirk, from Dumfries, was 16 when he left school and started working with the organisation as a grass cutter in 1973. On Friday, he officially retired on his 66th birthday.
