Christina McKelvie - a star who was 'sparkly and fun'

"Planets revolve around stars and I don't know what a planet does when its star has been extinguished."

Keith Brown MSP has paid tribute to his partner Christina McKelvie after her death aged 57.

The Scottish government minister had been MSP for Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse since May 2011, having initially been elected as a Central Scotland representative in 2007.

She recovered from breast cancer in 2021 but was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer in June.
