    I really enjoyed reading about Peter Dowds..It's a shame he lies in an unmarked grave but thanks to Celtic Graves Society's ceremony he'll be commemorated and introduced to new generations of Celtic fans..a fine and fitting recognition.


    They never die who live in the hearts they leave behind :shamrock: indeed :50:

    Great day and great turnout from the Johnstone bhoys and ghirls and beyond. Another Celt's resting place marked. Hail Hail!










    Peter's grave now marked - with popular Celt Bertie Thomson's wonderful headstone in the background
