It will be attended by Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Dunbartonshire Pat Steel, representatives of the council, Police Scotland, Royal British Legion Scotland, Community Councils, churches and officers from the 51st Infantry Brigade.

Provost Walker said: “It is only fitting that we pay tribute to the men and women, past and present, of all our Armed Forces who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“It will be a great honour for the council to be joined by many so many different people from all walks of life - which will make the commemorations all the more poignant.”

Traffic diversions will be in place in Bearsden, with Drymen Road closed between Ledcameroch Road and Colquhoun Drive between 10am and noon, with no waiting restrictions in place in surrounding streets.
