People will fall silent at midday on Thursday to mark lives lost during the pandemic on the third anniversary of the first lockdown.
A minute’s silence will be held at I remember: Scotland’s Covid Memorial in Glasgow’s Pollok Park as part of the National Day of Reflection. A wreath will be laid in memory of the lives lost to Covid, and memorial creator Alec Finlay will be joined by Scotland’s Makar Kathleen Jamie, who will lead a remembrance walk following the silence.
The memorial is a collection of “I remember” oak tree supports along a memorial walk through the park. Mr Finlay, the poet and artist who was commissioned to make the memorial, said the designs were inspired by the support ordinary people showed one another during the pandemic.
