First Minister Jack McConnell joined Prince Edward and
Secretary of State for Scotland Alistair Darling at the
Stone of Rembrance outside Edinburgh City Chambers.
Mr McConnell said:
"On Remembrance Sunday we pay tribute to the memory of
those brave men and women who gave their lives so that we
could all live in a safer world.
"Scotland will never forget the sacrifice of those who
died so that we would be free and today we also pay tribute
to those brave Scottish soldiers who have so tragically
lost their lives in the conflict in Iraq.
"We are all proud of the courage they are showing to
make the world a safer place in this century."
