Events to honour those who gave their lives

Fife will pause to remember at numerous events this weekend.

Several schools in the region held services yesterday.

These included the annual remembrance service at Queen Anne High School in Dunfermline.

The service was led by house captains and attended by veterans, families, pupils, staff and the wider school community.

The school has also created its own ‘war horse’ from upcycled plastic bottles.

This evening the annual festival of remembrance in Dunfermline Abbey will be presented by the Regimental Band of the Black Watch Army Cadet Force.

Remembrance Sunday will bring parades and ceremonies at war memorials across Fife, from the region’s major towns to its smallest communities.

Meanwhile, police in Forth Valley are appealing for information after a war memorial was spray painted in Tullibody.

The vandalism was discovered at the monument in the Lych Gate area yesterday morning.

Crews from Clackmannanshire Council are working to remove the damage as quickly as possible.

Chief Superintendent Thom McLoughlin, Area Commander for Forth Valley, said: “This is a hugely disrespectful act which we understand will cause upset to the local community and we are treating this incident with the utmost seriousness.”
