Liam Rudden shared his last moment with Mary.

“Our last laugh. Lockdown. 2020. Out on my daily walk and who do I meet but my mischievous pal Mary Moriarty – who else would have hired us to do #RockyHorror ON the Port O’ #Leith bar? Feisty, fearless and fantastic, with a huge heart, she lived for her adopted home, Leith.

“Very sad to hear that Mary Moriarty, Queen of Leith, has died. She was always so kind to me. I sought her ‘blessing’ when I had the idea for writing Constitution Street and she let me interview her many times. Also a twin. Rest in power neighbour.❤️ It’s a day for leopard print:)” wrote Jemma Neville.
