“This is an important day for the people of Renfrew, remembering those who gave their lives in both World Wars and the Falklands conflict with the re-dedication of the town’s war memorial”, said Natalie Don MSP, the constituency MSP for the town of Renfrew.

Natalie Don MSP lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament welcoming the re-dedication ceremony of the Renfrew War Memorial and was in attendance at the event on Tuesday 2nd August 2022.

To mark the 100th anniversary of the original unveiling of the memorial a series of events including the re-dedication are taking place. This includes a small exhibition at Renfrew museum from 2nd – 5th August.

Natalie Don MSP added:

“I would like to congratulate Renfrew Community Council for all the hard work they’ve put into organising today’s event. This is a very important event for the town, and one that respects the town’s history and those who died in times of conflict.

“Renfrew is a close-knit town and those on the memorial’s Roll of Honour would have been well known in their local communities.

“It was a moving ceremony and I was pleased to meet with community council members after the event to thank them for organising this re-dedication.”
