I was privileged to attend the memorial events on Sunday for the 50th anniversary of the Cheapside Street fire.
The event began with a wreath-laying ceremony at Necropolis, followed by a service at Glasgow Cathedral, and the unveiling of a plaque at a ceremony in George Square.
The whole day was very moving, and it made me reflect not only on the devastating loss of life back in 1960, but of the very real risks fire crews face every day.
A book to mark the anniversary has been launched, and I hope to get myself a copy soon.
