Family hunting Dundee photographers after memorial event for Australian relative

A family have put out a social media appeal following a Dundee memorial event for an Australian relative.

Jayne Robertson organised the tribute on The Law for her uncle, Bobby Crawford, who lived in the city for years before emigrating.

She chose the site because Bobby used to visit all the time with his brother and sister.

During the event on the 14th May, two strangers - who happened to be there too - took photographs as the family released red balloons.

Now Jayne and her family are keen to track them down to try and get copies of the images to send to relatives in Australia.

Speaking to Dundee Live, Jayne said: "Bobby worked at the DPM before emigrating to Australian with his wife and 5 children.

"There’s now 14 grandchildren and 14 great grandchildren too so he made quite a clan over there.

"Thanks for your help, I’d really like to have the pictures, they were fantastic."

Jayne's original request for help on the Meh Dundee Facebook page said: "I know this is a long shot, on 14th of May, me and my family had a celebration of life for my uncle, born and lived in Dundee for many years but then moved to Australia.

“We were up the Law were he often went with his brother and sister.

“When we were there a very talented photographer asked if he could take pictures, I agreed and told him my email to send them but so far Iv had nothing.”

And she added: “I’m thinking possibly the email was taken down wrong.

“On looking at a video I took I realised also another man with a camera was taking photos. I’m posting this in the hope that someone will recognise one of the men and be able to get us in touch.

“Would mean so much to have these photos! Especially to pass on to the family in Australia.

“Please share away Dundee.”
