PEOPLE who have died through their line of work during the year of the pandemic were remembered at a special commemoration held in Greenock. Provost Martin Brennan laid a wreath at the ‘Men of the Clyde’ sculpture in Clyde Square on behalf of the people of Inverclyde to mark International Workers’ Memorial Day 2021. The beginning of the coronavirus outbreak and first lockdown last year meant the annual memorial event had to be cancelled, but the recent easing of restrictions meant a small scale commemoration could take place to honour those who have died in the line of duty. Council and health and social care staff also joined in with a minute’s silence at 11am.
