The King's example is that of love and that is endless and timeless. We politicians should heed this example. We, too, have a choice. We can decide to narrow the parenthesis. Or we can decide to widen it. We live in a cynical world to which the only antidote is service, duty and love.

The US first recognized April 6 as #TartanDay in 1998, making this our 25-year anniversary! π
A small but spirited group of Scottish Americans held the first NYC Tartan Day Parade that same year.
Thanks for getting the tradition started, Canada!
ALT This year, the US is celebrating 25 years of Tartan Day.
#DYK? Tartan Day originated in Canada! π
Before spreading to the other communities of Scottish diaspora across North America, #TartanDay was first proclaimed by the province of Nova Scotia in 1987.
Can you guess which country followed suit? π

The death of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth is a profoundly sad moment for the UK, the Commonwealth and the world.
Her life was one of extraordinary dedication and service.
On behalf of the people of Scotland, I convey my deepest condolences to The King and the Royal Family.

The UK and our partners have been clear that there will be consequences for Russia's actions.
We fully support the United States call for a UN Security Council resolution.
The Security Council must do all it can to stop war and uphold the Charter.
