An eagle-eyed Scots dad who spotted an abandoned package at Edinburgh Airport saved a stranger's wedding after discovering the bride's missing wedding dress just hours before the ceremony. Graeme Reid was returning from a family holiday in Italy with his wife and two young children when they faced their own baggage chaos on Wednesday.
The 57-year-old was waiting to see if their six bags would arrive when he spotted the well-packaged cardboard box lying on the floor with a label marked for the city’s Sheraton Grand Hotel & Spa. He contacted the venue and sent them photographs of its location before receiving a frantic phone call from father-of-the-bride Peter who explained that the dress went missing while he and his wife travelled to Scotland from their home in Bangkok four days earlier.
The 67-year-old raced to the busy transport hub and desperately hunted for a member of staff who could help reunite him with daughter Stephanie’s custom dress. Thanks to an "angel" from Menzies Aviation, who are the baggage handling firm for the airline Lufthansa, Peter was reunited with the missing dress which had sat unattended for 30 hours.
