One of the presenters on our radio station Isles FM passed away last
Thursday. Peggy Macneil died of cancer at Bethesda Hospice. Regular
listeners are familiar with her Moonlight Shadow programme, as well as
her collaboration with Kenny There-you-go and Janet Ramsay. Although I
personally do not regularly listen to the station, I was familiar with
Peggy and am sad to hear of her passing. I wish her family, friends and
colleagues at the station strength in coming to terms with her loss.
Peggy’s funeral will take place at 2.30pm on Monday 22 August from
Martin’s Memorial Church in Stornoway, to Sandwick Cemetery.
Two years ago, Joyce Murray, another Isles FM presenter, died at home
on the West Side of Lewis at the age of 61. Over the nearly seven years
that I’ve been in the island, there have been quite a few changes on
103 FM’s team. However, the station continues to go strong and plays a
vital part in the community at times of emergency, such as severe
weather.
