Falkirk’s veterans are being asked to share their remarkable war time tales as Royal British Legion Scotland (RBLS) marks the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Scotland’s Salute to VE Day 80th Anniversary commemorations concert takes place in May and organisers want to honour the lives and experiences veterans and feature their stories in the event.

A RBLS spokesman said: “We are looking for remarkable stories to feature in the May 6 concert, at the Usher Hall in Edinburgh, to celebrate their courage and sacrifice.

“We will also be looking at ways to preserve and honour all stories received beyond this occasion. We thank veterans for their service and their willingness to share their journey.”
