I spoke in the Remembrance Commemorations debate in the Scottish Parliament this year and highlighted the importance of honouring those who made the ultimate sacrifice. The way we did so was different this year and we applaud those people who stood at their doorsteps on Sunday, laid wreaths at war memorials or went to church to remember those who had fallen. Right across Scotland, people marked the fact that we should honour those who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The restrictions on gathering together to remember our war dead made Sunday very difficult for many. However, we agree that we must continue to prioritise suppressing the virus and saving lives. See what I had to say in the debate below.
I also spoke in the Veterans and Armed Forces Community Debate a few days later, and you can see what I had to say in that below:
