And then the world stood still. Numbed. Wondering how the Hell did we get here? How could it happen again?
Today I’ll lay a wreath at a service in Edinburgh in commemoration of all who have died in the bloody, illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine.
At 11am, we will as a nation fall silent for a moment of reflection. But as we do, the fighting goes on.
The guns will still fire, the shells will still explode, the tears will flood.
