On Monday, I attended the opening of the exhibition Remembrance & Reconciliation at Edinburgh Napier University. It included a seminar which covered the history of Edinburgh’s Robin Chapel, and the efforts in Kutenholz, Germany, to honour everyone who died there in the Second World War, including Robin Tudsbery, in whose memory the chapel was built.
We were treated to a moving performance by the chapel’s choir. It was truly special to see family members of British servicemen alongside the Kutenholz community, recognising their service and sacrifice.

On this day, we pause in quiet reflection to honour those who gave their lives in service.
We thank all those who have served, and we think of all those still living with the impact of conflict, including veterans, their loved ones and the bereaved.

Today I was honoured to take part in the Remembrance Sunday ceremony in Edinburgh. It was a deeply moving occasion, extremely well supported by Scotland’s military, political, civic, veteran and bereaved community.
It was a pleasure to meet the Minister for Veterans and People, Louise Sandher-Jones MP, once again. My thanks to @poppyscotland and @royalbritishlegionscotland, who worked together to deliver this faultless event.
