Armed Forces Day In pictures: Grangemouth shows appreciation for troops past and present

The weather may have been wet but it did not dampen the spirits of those who marched in Grangemouth to pay tribute to the sacrifices of armed forces personnel.

Falkirk Provost Billy Buchanan joined veterans at Grangemouth’s Royal British Legion branch, in Dundas Street, just before noon on Saturday, August 21, to pay respects to service personnel who gave their lives in past conflicts and those who still continue to protect the country.

It was a more intimate affair than previous years, but everyone carried out their duties with sincerity and dignity.
