Lewis War Memorial Remembrance Sunday ceremony

12 November 2023

Islanders paid their respects to the war dead at remembrance services across the Western Isles this weekend.

Wreaths were laid at a number of events at some community and village memorials on Saturday but most ceremonies took place today (Sunday).  

A large crowd observed a two-minute silence at the islands’ main service at the Lewis War Memorial in Stornoway.
