Edinburgh marks Remembrance Sunday as Nicola Sturgeon makes 'poignant' tribute

Nicola Sturgeon has led tributes at what she called a "particularly poignant" Remembrance Sunday event in Edinburgh as Scotland stood silent to remember the fallen.

The First Minister laid a wreath of poppies in the city centre at the stone of remembrance on Sunday morning as many across the country stood silent to remember those who lost their lives.

The first event since coronavirus restrictions were lifted, the tribute saw members of the three branches of the Armed Forces marched down the Royal Mile before a short service took place outside the city chambers, led by Rev Calum MacLeod.
