The display showcased a variety of talents from the boys, including very impressive marching from all sections, as well as some dancing and acting.

Mr McClymont told the News and Chronicle: “It was a delight to return to the 2nd Cumbernauld.

“It felt like I had never been away. I enjoyed seeing all of the new faces in the company, as well as some old ones!”

Company Captain Bill Stirling said: “It was great to have Gregg return to his old Company and to be able to show him how the good work of the Boys’ Brigade has continued over the years.”
