Erskine Remembers

Today, across Erskine, Remembrance services were held to honour all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service. Veterans, residents, staff, and volunteers gathered to remember the fallen and to pay tribute to those who came home, carrying the memories of those they lost.

Wreaths were laid on behalf of our Veterans, residents, staff, and our Patron, His Majesty King Charles III. Each wreath a symbol of gratitude and remembrance, ensuring that the bravery and sacrifice of past generations are never forgotten.

The poignant services were accompanied by the haunting sounds of the bugle and the pipes, as The Flowers of the Forest and The Last Post echoed through the air.

Today was a time for reflection and remembrance, a time for the Erskine family to stand together in thanks to those who sacrificed so much for our freedom today.

Wing Commander Ian Cumming MBE, Erskine Veterans Charity CEO, said: "Erskine, as Scotland’s leading Veterans charity, is committed to honouring Veterans who have given so much for their country. Our staff work tirelessly every day to provide the highest standard of care, accommodation and community support, to ensure that all our Veterans feel valued and respected. This Remembrance Day, we will come together as a charity to pay tribute to Veterans of all ages and from all conflicts, reflecting on their immense contributions and sacrifices. It’s our mission to make sure their legacies are never forgotten, and we are proud to be a part of their journey."
