A CATHEDRAL’s head gardener is celebrating 25 years’ service.

Geoff MacCullum applied for job at Durham Cathedral in 1989, after seeing a job advert in the Durham Advertiser.

The 55-year-old said: “The people who work here are wonderful.

“The gardeners and the yard staff are like a little family and we really look out for each other.

“Who couldn’t love working somewhere as fabulous as the cathedral? It’s a fantastic building and everywhere you turn in Durham you see it there on the skyline.”
