THE funeral of shepherd Jim Campbell took place in Penninghame St John's Church in Newton Stewart on Wednesday at 1.30pm.
The service was conducted by the Rev John Burns of St Andrews and Inch Church, Stranraer. Representatives from Stranraer FC, for whom Jim played in the 1970s and Newton Stewart Golf Club, where he was a popular and enthusiastic member joined around 300 mourners to remember his life.
The well-liked Newton Stewart herd died in Ayr Hospital in the early hours of Saturday morning.
Fifty-nine year-old Mr Campbell suffered a stroke while at work at Brighouse Farm near Balmaclellan, and lay overnight for 18 hours before being found by rescuers at 8am on Wednesday last week.
The Galloway Gazette would like to extend its sincere condolences to the Campbell family.
