In a tribute to Lanarkshire’s fallen heroes, the Lanarkshire Lieutenancy, will lay wreaths at 68 war memorials across towns and villages across the county over the Remembrance weekend.
This initiative follows extensive research that uncovered over 60 memorials, varying from smaller village monuments with only a few names to large memorials in the main towns.
Lady Susan Haughey CBE said: “This significant undertaking reflects the determination of the Lieutenancy to mark the ultimate sacrifice made by those who fell protecting our freedom.
“It is our honour to remember them with this act of respect at memorials stretching from Leadhills in the South to Stepps in North Lanarkshire.”
The Lieutenancy’s efforts symbolise a countywide commitment to preserving the legacy of those who served, ensuring each memorial receives recognition and remembrance in honour of their ultimate sacrifice.
