Glasgow's Remembrance Sunday service returned to the Cenotaph in George Square today, a year after redevelopment work forced a temporary move to Glasgow Cathedral.

The ceremony began at 10.45am with a Guard of Honour from the Scots Guards. Shortly before 11am, Binyon's Lines were read, followed by the Last Post and a performance of Flowers of the Forest, before the city fell silent for two minutes at 11am.

Wreaths were then laid at the Cenotaph, including one from Lord Provost Jacqueline McLaren on behalf of the people of Glasgow. Representatives from the Armed Forces, veterans' organisations, charities, faith groups and civic bodies attended the service, the Glasgow Times reported.

McLaren described the service as one of the most important and poignant occasions in Glasgow's civic calendar, and said it was particularly significant to gather once again at the Cenotaph in George Square, in the heart of the city, to pay respects together.

The service was part of wider commemorations across Glasgow, including the Garden of Remembrance outside Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, which opened ahead of Remembrance Sunday alongside the launch of Poppyscotland's 2026 appeal.

Services were also held across Scotland. First Minister John Swinney joined a service outside Edinburgh City Chambers, where a parade from Edinburgh Castle ended with the One O'clock Gun firing at 11am to mark the start of the silence.
