CEREMONIES and services are being held across Shetland today to mark Remembrance Sunday.

In Lerwick wreaths were laid at the war memorial opposite Lerwick Town Hall, with the event led by lord lieutenant Lindsay Tulloch, MSP Beatrice Wishart and Shetland Islands council convener Andrea Manson.

Thanks to Malcolm Younger for the photos from the Lerwick ceremony.
