Buchanan, considered Scotland’s greatest-ever fighter, died, aged 77, at a nursing home in Edinburgh
The eldest son of boxing legend Ken Buchanan has told of his heartbreak after missing his father’s burial.
But, in a cruel snub, he was not invited to the private family burial two days later. Raymond said: “I’ll never get over not being there to say a final farewell to my dad. Ken had dated Raymond’s mum Maria in the 60s but they split before he was born. Ken went on to marry second wife Carol and they had two children, Mark and Karen.
“I’m his eldest son and one of the things that children do for their parents is to see them out of this world.Raymond, 57, had joined Mark, other family and friends and hundreds of mourners – including ring legends Jim Watt and Barry McGuigan – at his dad’s memorial service. “When I learned who my dad was, that he was married and had children from the marriage, it was the same. I was on the outside looking in. I’ve never knowingly done anything to harm my brother.“I hugged him outside the Theatre Royal after the service and told him that I loved him. I can’t understand why he’s repaid me like this.
After absorbing the shock of learning he had missed the burial, Raymond spoke to some of those who had been there.
