The public are warmly invited to attend a special service which will be held at 12pm on Saturday 21st September to mark 100 years since the unveiling of the Lewis War Memorial.

Rev William Heenan from St Columba’s Church, Stornoway, will take the service at the memorial which will also feature laying of wreaths on behalf of the community by HM Lord Lieutenant, Iain Macaulay, and Comhairle Convenor, Kenny Macleod.

Comhairle Convenor, Kenny Macleod, said:

“It is important that we mark important events in our history, such as the centenary of the Lewis War Memorial.  The service on 21st September will give us all an opportunity to gather to reflect and to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice serving our country. I would encourage all in our communities to attend this special service.”

The public are also warmly invited to lunch at St Columba’s Church Hall immediately following the service.
