People in the Scottish town of Dunblane on Saturday privately marked the 25th anniversary of Britain s worst mass shooting, which led to the introduction of some of the world s toughest gun laws.
Sixteen schoolchildren, aged 5 and 6
, were killed along with their teacher, who tried to protect them when a man opened fire on a gym class before shooting himself.
Covid-19 restrictions have shut churches across Scotland, forcing a day of private reflection.
But Colin Renwick, minister at Dunblane Cathedral, said the victims would be remembered at an online service on Sunday. For those who lost someone in the tragedy, every day will be one of remembering in some way, and the anniversaries that will be just as poignant for them will be the birthdays of those they have lost, as they ponder what might have been, he said.
