I was honoured to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Stirling on Sunday. It was an important moment to pay tribute to those who gave their lives in the service of their country. Thank you to all those who came out to pay tribute across our communities. We will remember them.

Today, we pause to remember. Across Stirling & Strathallan and the UK, we honour the courage and sacrifice of those who served and continue to serve in our armed forces. Their legacy lives on in our freedoms, our communities, and our shared commitment to peace. Lest we forget.
