Unity of Faith on Remembrance Sunday

Here are some pictures where I was invited to lay a wreath at the Stone of remembrance at the City Chambers on Remembrance Sunday, led by First Minister, Lord Provost, head of Tri services followed by Faith leaders.

 

Unity of Hindu, Sikh & Christians on Remembrance day.
1.5 Million Indian soldiers fought in the two World Wars and more than 70,000 laid down their lives – it is their poppy too.
The Lord Provost talked about the special Book of condolence opened for veteran Tom Gilzean who raised £1m for charity.
He added: “By attending a Remembrance service or parade, wearing a poppy or taking a moment of quiet reflection, so many of us have shown our gratitude and appreciation for the enormous sacrifices being made every day on our behalf by so many courageous men and women.”
