A Fife veteran of the Normandy landings has died aged 96.
Bill MacGregor was a part of the D-Day landings and fought in Europe until the defeat of the Axis powers in 1945.
Mr MacGregor’s son Jim said he would be sadly missed.
He said: “He was the figurehead of the family in so many ways.”
Alec Marshall from the Edinburgh Normandy Veterans Association said: “It was with sadness that I received news of the death of Bill MacGregor, who was a part of our group.”
Mr MacGregor was 25 when he landed in Normandy to play his part in the liberation of Europe with the Cameronian Rifles as a gunnery sergeant.
He had joined the army before the war at the age of 19.
In 1944 he married Anne on a Saturday, and the next day headed for war-torn France.
What could have been a day-long marriage became a lifelong one as the couple celebrated 70 years together earlier this year.
Mr MacGregor visited the beaches in Normandy every year to pay tribute to his comrades who never came home, and wished to be buried with the Normandy Landing flag.
He was fiercely proud of his country and would wear a kilt at every occasion.
After the war, Mr MacGregor was a travelling salesman for James Wilson and Sons stationers, and latterly worked for the coal board.
Retirement allowed him to indulge in his passions for classical music and travelling.
Mr MacGregor was a member of Clan Gregor and was very active in their organisation.
He is survived by his wife, Anne, children Jim and Marion, two grand-children and one great-grandchild.
His passing leaves only one Normandy veteran in Fife, John McGhee of Cowdenbeath.
