Aberdeenshire Lord Lieutenant Sandy Manson reads the message from King Charles which is being carried in a baton around the north-east as part of the 140th anniversary of the Boys Brigade. He met up with members of the Turriff Company on Saturday morning as they carried out their section of the relay which sees the baton start its journey at Braemar last year and end up in Orkney in the coming months.
