    Prayers for Manchester

    Without reference to the politics involved, I beg your prayers for Manchester where an attack was made on a crowd of primarily young girls and women.

    That such cowards might not thrive, we stand firmly united against hatred and violence. Unity is what they fear most.

    Many have tried in the past to bomb Britain into changing our course in this world and sadly some, may try to do so in the future. We will bleed, we will mourn, we will shed more than a tear or two, but we will for certain sure, carry on carrying on.

    As seen written on the station wall under yesterday's headlines in Fort William yesterday morning: "Keep calm and have another cup of tea."

    Not in the least bit flippant, but a very British way of proceeding in these situations. My goodness me, I am proud of that.

    Thank you, Bill.

    Obviously the trauma is dreadful wherever the victims are from but Xmarkers may feel a special link with these two lovely lassies from Barra
