A beacon was lit tonight to mark the sacrifice of the service men and women of World War 2.
Along with communities across the country Dunure lit a beacon in tribute to those who fought in WWII to stand up for the values of decency, respect and tolerance against fascism and intolerance.
A large group of folk from the village gathered to pay their respects, led by a moving speech from Seonaid Fulton and a toast in memory of those who lost their lives, their loved ones, and their future.
The question has been asked: why is there no war memorial in Dunure?
The answer is surprising.
Despite sending many brave souls to fight in both WW 1 and WW 2, no men from Dunure lost their lives in either war.
For that we are grateful.
It makes the sacrifice of those who did lose their lives even more poignant.
Thanks to John Fulton and the Harbour Committee who organised the tribute, and to Elaine Lee for the picture.
