Scotland Unites in Silence to Honor War Heroes
On Remembrance Sunday, communities across Scotland commemorated those who perished in global conflicts with two minutes of silence. In Edinburgh, First Minister John Swinney led a wreath-laying ceremony at the Stone of Remembrance, reflecting on personal loss linked to World War II. Celebrations included gatherings in cities like Glasgow, where veterans and civilians honored the fallen. Buildings were illuminated in red, and poignant displays, such as a soldier silhouette at Kelvinside Academy, marked the day. Across the UK, leaders including Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer paid tribute at the Cenotaph in London.
