WREATHS were laid at the Lerwick war memorial this morning at 11am to remember those who died in conflict.

The ceremony outside the Lerwick Town Hall was one of many services that are being held across Shetland today to mark Remembrance Sunday.

In Lerwick, the ceremony was led by Lord Lieutenant Lindsay Tulloch, MSP Beatrice Wishart and Shetland Islands Council convener Andrea Manson.
