Easter Ross wreath-laying ceremony recalls Polish sacrifice as Remembrance Sunday marked

TRIBUTES were paid across Ross-shire today to those made the ultimate sacrifice in conflicts.

In Invergordon, tribute to fallen heroes was observed at the Polish monument.

Ross and Cromarty Lord Lieutenant Joanie Whiteford, the Queen's representative in the area, was joined by Cromarty Firth councillor Maxine Smith amongst others.

Remembrance Sunday is traditionally a day to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.

It is held on the second Sunday in November, the one nearest to November 11, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in World War I in 1918.

The memorial was erected in Invergordon in 1947 to commemorate Polish military personnel who lost their lives in World War Two.

Poles fought alongside British forces during the war, and many were trained and stationed in Scotland.
