It is with great pride and pleasure that the Admin from Vanguardbears can now reveal to all the finished Headstone,purchased thanks due to all your kind donations,of the late,great William McBeath, which has now been installed by the Stonemason end of last week in Lincoln at William's final resting place.We are sure you will all agree that this indeed the work of a Master Craftsman,the detailing of the Rangers crests on the Headstone being the best I think we will ever come across.A dedication and service to both the Headstone and William will be undertaken at a later date this year,as many have differing engagements, so pinning a definite date for the trip is proving somewhat difficult at present time,but anyone wishing to make the trip down to see Williams final resting place before the ceremony only have to contact Admin and we will give all the necessary information and directions where we can.
The Local newspaper in Lincoln are also to run a story about Williams headstone,such is the excitement it has caused down there at this moment in time,and we here at Admin only hope that someone in the Press up here in Scotland will be as excited and give William's final resting place a little coverage that it so rightly deserves.
Once again we thank all who donated,from all over the world,from the bottom of our hearts,you have given one of our gallant pioneers a very fitting resting place now,and to that end you are all ''Simply The Best''
Kind Regards
Lutheran on behalf of Admin at Vanguardbears
PS..Special mention of thanks and recognition goes to Arisisir and Dave Smith for all their hard work down in Lincoln in getting this off the ground also and their contact with Lincoln Council...Gentlemen,take a bow....
