A classroom assistant from Irvine was introduced to the future King Charles III when she attended a garden party – which proved to be one of the last major events hosted by the late Queen in Scotland.
Freda Kerr headed along to the event at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on June 29 with her husband Billy, who was asked along to mark his community service through local history research.
The mother-of-two, who recently became a grandmother, works at St Mark’s Primary School in Irvine.
