"It was an honour to attend Remembrance ceremonies in Cumnock and Kilmarnock on Sunday, to show respect for the armed forces past and present on behalf of the people of East Ayrshire, and to join with veterans, soldiers, airmen, sailors, cadets, young people from our schools and so many others who took the time to stop and reflect.
