I attended the wreath-laying ceremony at the war memorial in Uddingston today where I laid a wreath on behalf of the Council. My colleagues attended to do the same at the Bothwell ceremony.
Afterwards, I laid my own mark of remembrance at the Bothwell war memorial and then attended the South Lanarkshire-wide ceremony at Bothwell Road Cenotaph in Hamilton.
In my lifetime, there has seldom been an Armistice Day or Remembrance Sunday when the need to honour those who have died in war has been greater.
We honour them by working for a lasting peace and an end to all conflicts and their casualties.
