Lockerbie, 25 Years On

  • Submitted by: Christine Grahame, Midlothian South, Tweeddale and Lauderdale, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Thursday, 05 December 2013
  • Motion reference: S4M-08526

That the Parliament notes that 21 December 2013 marks the 25th anniversary of the Lockerbie bombing when Pan-Am Flight 103 was destroyed over the town of Lockerbie with the loss of all lives on board, 243 passengers, 16 crew, and 11 Lockerbie residents; recognises the commitment of the people of Lockerbie to the memory of those lost, where at the Dryfesdale Cemetery a semi-circular stone wall in the garden of remembrance lists the names and nationalities of all the victims along with individual funeral stones and memorials and also recognises the continuing kindness and sensitivity to relatives of those killed while wishing to restore normality to their town; considers that, notwithstanding the conviction of Abdelbaset al Megrahi, this remains unfinished business, but, for the moment, simply wishes to express the continuing sorrow at so many lost lives.
