It is with heavy, heavy hearts that we share this post 🙏
Stuart was a stalwart supporter of the fireballs, an absolute trooper and valued member of the committee (quite opinionated at times, but we wouldn’t have had him any other way!)
Hogmanay will just not be the same without him 💔
Our thoughts are with Jackie, Eilidh, Mia and all of Stuart’s family & friends.
Keep the ba’s burning, Stuart… gone but never forgotten ☄️🤍☄️🫡

With kind permission from the family.
