Son, 50, to enjoy first Christmas with his father

A 50-year-old man is looking forward to the “best present ever” when he enjoys Christmas Day with his father for the first time.

Westley Grey, who lives near Greenock, Inverclyde, had never met his father until October this year when he travelled to the US. Along with his twin brother David, Westley started searching for his birth father after his mother Thomasina died. They knew that he had served in the US Navy and eventually tracked him down to Texas.

Westley Sr Moorehead joined the US Navy in 1945 aged 17. In the early 1960s he was stationed at Holy Loch in Argyll and Bute, which was a US nuclear submarine base during the Cold War.
