Doesn’t this look lovely! My history colleague Gordon Cook sent in these photos this week. Like other churches in the area, Blantyre Old Parish Church was lit up this week with a beautiful and poignant remembrance display.
In a world of escalating wars, cyber attacks, abundant hate crimes and politically charged hostile actions, the respect, attention and honour of the whole act of remembrance, remembering the sacrifices of our brave fallen ancestors and family members ……is a welcome return to how things should be.
So nice to see. There’s always an overwhelming sense of community spirit at this time of year.
