A Glasgow man has told about the moment he bolted from his best pal's wedding to join the UK Government's evacuation of Brits fleeing war-torn Sudan.
Scots diplomat Fraser McDougall took part in a successful operation to rescue more than 2450 people from the country, the longest and largest evacuation by any Western nation.
The 28-year-old, who works for the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, was sent to Sundanese capital Khartoum with the UK Rapid Deployment Team to help Brits fleeing violence that has killed more than 800 people, reports the Record.
