A new cancer care centre built with cash raised by readers of the Fife Free Press, has been officially opened.

The event was the culmination of a campaign by the paper to build a Maggie's Cancer Care Centre in Kirkcaldy, and the paper produced a 24-page souvenir supplement to celebrate.

Readers raised £500,000 to help build the centre, and it was formally opened by Gordon Brown, Chancellor of the Exchequer, and architect Zaha Hadid.

The paper's supplement looked back on the five years of fundraising and featured the first pictures from inside the building.

It included a roll of honour listing hundreds of readers who had staged fundraising initiatives, a timeline charting the campaign week by week, and profiles of the team who will run the Maggie's Centre, as well as an exclusive article written by Gordon Brown's wife Sarah, patron of Maggie's Fife.

Copies of the supplement were given away with the Press, and also handed out at a special open day attended by VIP guests and key fundraisers before the doors were thrown open to Press readers to tour the building.
