In pictures: Falkirk comes together in Remembrance

Ceremonies took place at war memorials in villages and towns across the local area as all ages stood in silent tribute on Remembrance Sunday.

The annual parade of veterans, politicians, youth organisations, school pupils and other community groups in Falkirk saw a procession march from Trinity Church in the town centre to the war memorial in Dollar Park.

There, a service of remembrance was led by the Reverend Robert Allan of Trinity Church.

People of all ages once again came together to show their respect.

Wreaths were laid by representatives from community organisations, as well as by local politicians and some of the district’s primary and secondary schools.

A lament was played by a piper from Camelon and District Pipe Band, who earlier had marched at the head of the parade, while after the Two Minute Silence the reveille was sounded by the bugler from Kinneil Band, whose members also accompanied the hymn singing.

Initially unveiled in 1926, the memorial in Camelon Road was one of the few in the district not to bear the names of those from the area who had lost their lives in service of their country.

But that was rectified in 2019 when, thanks to the efforts of a hardworking committee, they not only tracked down the names of the 1193 who died in World War One and the subsequent 463 who lost their lives in the Armed Forces in WWII, but also raised the money to have new pillars and plaques added.

Other events took place in communities across the district, including in Grangemouth and Camelon.
