Scots Morrisons staff bring store to standstill in moving tribute to 'loving' dad

A Scots butcher was honoured by colleagues at a Morrisons following his sudden death as they downed tools and lined the store’s aisles to pay their respects. Peter Owens Gilbertson passed away aged 65 on June 23 2022 at the Western General Hospital in Edinburgh.

Peter - described as loving, humorous and “a big family man” - worked in the Morrisons at the Gyle in the west of the capital. His family and friends gathered on Thursday to remember the Clermiston grandad.

At the time of his funeral, his colleagues also paid tribute to the “true gentleman” by bringing the store to a standstill. Stories of the prankster, father and avid Hibee were shared during the eulogy by his wife Linda, whom he met as a young teen, as well as his two sons Scott and Darren, daughter Lyndsey and three grandchildren, reports Edinburgh Live.
