They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
Angus Provost Craig Fotheringham shared details of the Remembrance Sunday services on 9 November. The events, including parades and wreath-laying ceremonies across Angus, honor all who sacrificed their lives defending our freedoms.
He urged everyone who is able to take a moment to join their community at these important commemorations to pay respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. For those unable to attend, he requested a quiet reflection alone or with family and friends to remember the fallen.
Tuesday, 11 November, marks Armistice Day, presenting another moment to honor the brave. At 11am, wherever you are—home or work—it is encouraged to pause activities for two minutes of silent tribute to the selflessness of our Armed Services.
We must and will remember them.
Provost Fotheringham also expressed gratitude to the service men and women who continue to protect the country at home and abroad, affirming ongoing support for them.
Recent years have been marked by uncertainty and the harsh realities of war conveyed through multiple media channels.
