Colleagues of a paramedic who died after falling into the sea at Stonehaven will come from all over Scotland to cover shifts on the day of his funeral.

Father of two Pete Trudgill, 43, from Lyne of Skene, near Westhill, died on Sunday January 19 in hospital after being swept into the sea at Stonehaven the previous day.

His family and wife, Anne-Marie, have paid tribute to the “popular and respected” man and have thanked emergency service workers who have rallied round to provide support.

A statement from the family said: “Pete was a member of the Scottish Ambulance Service for nearly 20 years.

“He was genuinely caring and committed to his job and his calm demeanour in any circumstances made him an exceptional paramedic.

“He was a union representative helping many colleagues and was held in high regard.

“So that most of his colleagues can attend his funeral on Wednesday January 29, paramedics and ambulance technicians from all over Scotland have volunteered to cover the shifts of their Aberdeen colleagues.

“He was also a very popular and respected member of the Aberdeen climbing community.

“He was very safety conscious, but climbing with Pete was never dull and many climbers will have many fond memories of climbing with him.

“Pete had a sense of fun and a zest for life. He was an outstanding father to his twin daughters, and was much loved as a husband, brother, son and friend all of whom will greatly miss him.”

The family added special thanks to thank all those who tried to save Mr Trudgill’s life, particularly those who tried to save him at the scene in Stonehaven.
