Princess Diana's Dress in Stranraer

ONE OF Princess Diana's dresses will be on display in Stranraer on Friday night. In a major coup for the area, the dress, now owned by Graeme and Briege Mackenzie who live in Bridge of Weir, will be the centrepiece at a cheese and wine evening at the North West Castle Hotel in aid of Children First. Persuading the owners to allow such an attraction to travel to Stranraer is a feather in the cap of Maureen Parker, secretary of the Stranraer Action Group for Children First.

Knowing of their interest in the charity, she contacted Mr and Mrs Mackenzie and they said they would be delighted to bring the dress to the function.
