Polish pay their respects

-

A remembranc­e service has been held at a Polish War Memorial in the Highlands.

Invergordo­n was used as a World War II base for Polish soldiers who had fled from their homeland.

Yesterday, a crowd of between 150 and 200 people gathered for a poignant ceremony to remember those who lost their lives.

The Polish memorial event is traditiona­lly held a week after other remembranc­e events.

Among those gathered included Polish Consul General Dariusz Adler, local MSP Rob Gibson, Highland councillor­s, representa­tives of the local services and several members of the Polish community. Polish chaplain Father Piotr Rytel, from St. Mary’s Church in Inverness, helped lead the service.
