A constructive meeting today with Veterans Minister Graeme Dey MSP. We discussed key concerns that will be highlighted in my forthcoming progress report, as well as encouraging examples of improvement in policy and practice that are making a difference for Scotland's veteran community.

A fascinating afternoon yesterday in Stirling Castle at the Commonwealth War Graves Commission VJ 80 Commemoration. Another reminder of the suffering of Service people and civilians during War in the Far East. Lest we forget.
