Islanders gather for Remembrance Sunday

10 November 2024

People at a service by the Lewis War Memorial today fell silent to remember those who died in conflict.

People of all ages attended on Remembrance Sunday, including school pupils, youth organisations, emergency services, Merchant Navy, as well as veterans and serving members of the Armed Forces.

Wreaths were laid on behalf of King Charles by Lord Lieutenant Iain Macaulay, and on behalf of Comhairle nan Eilean Siar by council convenor, Kenny Macleod.

Wreaths were also laid by many representatives of local organisations. Islanders gathered at local memorial events in districts across the Western Isles.
