A commemorative stone has been laid in a Lanarkshire town to pay tribute to the role NHS workers played during the COVID pandemic.
The stone was commissioned by Carluke Rotary Club members to honour the magnificent achievement of the NHS and those who died during those dark days.
Carluke councillor Eileen Logan was invited to unveil the stone by Rotary president Alex Brown at the short ceremony in Market Square.
The stone reads: “In remembrance of all those who lost their lives during the coronavirus pandemic of 2020 and the dedication of our NHS staff and emergency services and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in caring for their patients."
After the unveiling, past president Tony Hey presented a certificate of thanks from Carluke Rotary to Councillor Eileen Logan and also to John McGonagall of McAlister Funeral Directors for their support of the commemorative stone.
Past president Ken Mackie closed the ceremony and thanked everyone present and also the town’s people of Carluke for their continued support over the years.
