Now he has retired and parishioners and well-wishers gathered at the weekend to watch his final services at the church.  

A spokesperson said: "He will be remembered by all those who he had helped over the years and some who had grown up over those 25 years from youngsters to adulthood.  

"We wish David, Kate and all his family well in the future."
