And Euan's endeavours over the past quarter of a century saw local customers and businesses around the town raise funds for a present for him on Saturday to mark the anniversary, and to thank him for his sterling work over the years.

Well known Largs fundraiser Janet Muir went round local shops and helped raise funds with customers to give a present to Euan.

She said: "We are all so grateful to Euan - he always gives you a warm welcome when you go into the shop, and everybody likes him. He is such a popular person - and I thought it would be nice if he could be recognised in this way. It was great to do the presentation for Euan on Saturday and he was so pleased. He is a real character and such a nice guy. His family should be very proud of him.
