In a repeat of last year, the rain held off and the clouds cleared to reveal beautiful blue skies for the Remembrance Services this afternoon at Auchentibber and High Blantyre Cemetery.
Various organisations were represented, including the Scouts and Boys Brigade as the services commenced at 3pm. The event was well attended and a solemn occasion when collectively everybody remembered the sacrifices that previous generations made for our freedoms today.
Attending the events were several organisations including Blantyre Community Council, Bonnie Blantyre, several churches, teachers, local and regional politicians as well as many members of the public.
With thanks to the ministers who conducted the services and to Blantyre Community Council and 3rd Blantyre Scouts for organising some warm refreshments afterwards at their nearby hall. Thanks again to everybody who came along today.
