Aberdeen Trades Union Council took part in a ceremony as Aberdeen City Council unveiled a commemorative stone in recognition of the role of key workers throughout the pandemic.
The stone will be a reminder to future generations of the hard work and sacrifices made by all in the battle against Covid-19.
The ceremony took place on Sunday 27th March in the Kirk of St
Nicholas churchyard, and followed a Covid-19 thanksgiving service to
key workers.
There was a gathering at the Town House afterwards, where a video
premier of a piece of music specially composed by the award winning
composer Paul Mealor, Professor of Composition at the University of
Aberdeen, was shown.
The composition and accompanying video gave thanks on
behalf of the city to all those who had made sacrifices during the
Covid-19 Pandemic and also featured key workers.
ATUC President, Graeme Farquar spoke on behalf of
Aberdeen Trades Union Council. He thanked the Lord Provost and Aberdeen
City Council for the three events.
"It was an honour and a privilege to assist in the unveiling of the
stone. The stone will now be a legacy for future generations to visit and
reflect on," said Graeme.
