Strath pays tribute to the fallen

People of all ages marked Remembranc­e Sunday in Strathearn at the weekend.

Services were held in communitie­s throughout the area.

The biggest attendance was at the parade in Crieff, which was organised by the Royal British Legion Scotland Crieff branch.

After a service at the parish church, veterans, army and air cadets, Scouts and Guides, and representa­tives from local organisati­ons and Perth and Kinross Council, were led through Crieff to the war memorial by the massed pipe bands of Morrison’s Academy, Crieff High School and Ardvreck.

All generation­s came together to remember on Sunday, November 12.

Services were held in each community and wreaths were laid at the Strath’s war memorials, where a two-minutes’ silence was observed.
