Remembering the fallen and their legacy
Published: Monday 13 November 2023
Remembrance Sunday services took place across South Lanarkshire yesterday, including at the Cenotaph in Hamilton.
Among those in attendance at Bothwell Park were Provost Margaret Cooper and Lord Lieutenant of Lanarkshire, Lady Susan Haughey.
They were joined by Reverend Ross Blackman of Hamilton Old Parish Church, Reverend Joanne Hood of St John’s Parish Church, military veterans, pupils from local schools, councillors, council officials and members of the public.
Services also took place at the War Memorials in East Kilbride and Larkhall.
Provost Cooper said: “I was honoured as Provost to take part in Sunday’s service.
“It is always very poignant and we remember the sacrifice made by those fighting to protect the freedoms we enjoy today.
“Remembering their sacrifices not only honours them but reminds us that we all have a part to play to ensure that their deaths were not in vain.
“We remember them and we never forget.”
