On behalf of the congregation Mr Main presented a crystal decanter, glasses and a wallet to Mr Fraser. He also presented a crystal vase to Mrs Nan Fraser to mark her continued support.
The Sunday School and Bible Class gave an entertaining rendition of 'Father Abraham' prior to presenting gifts to Mr Fraser.
Following the service the congregation, friends and colleagues met for a buffet lunch. In the evening a concert with a strong Scottish flavour was held, paying tribute to Mr Fraser's love of music and humour.
Monifieth Boys' Brigade Pipe Band and a Discovery Brass ensemble provided a variety of music; Bob Sutherland provided two amusing monologues.
The evening was compered by Mr Fraser's brother, Jock, who played Scottish country dance music on his accordion.
But the highlight of the occasion was the rendition of 'The Wee Kirkcudbright Centipede' by Mr Fraser. After thanks from Mr Fraser and his wife, Nan, the day concluded with the audience joining the pipers in the evening hymn.
