Three young Inverness-shire soldiers who died while serving their country have been remembered during a poignant ceremony.
More than 60 people turned out to pay tribute to Royal Marine Peter Davidson, Scots Guardsman Charlie Johnstone and Martin Ferguson, of the Queen’s Own Highlanders, years after they died in separate incidents.
The men’s names have also been added to the post-1945 roll of honour plaque at the Highland capital’s main war memorial in Cavell Gardens.
The granite plaque was added two years ago to commemorate those who died in service since World War II.
Until now, the only name displayed was that of Black Watch Sergeant Stuart “Gus” Miller, who died in Afghanistan in 2009.
Local RBL chairman Joe Davidson said that members of the soldiers’ families who attended on Saturday found the ceremony emotional.
He added: “I did not realise how much it would affect them to see the names on the plaque.”
Private Ferguson was just 21 when he was a victim of so-called “friendly fire” during the Gulf War in 1991.
Guardsman Johnstone, 22, died while on a four-week exercise in Canada, after suffering a heart attack in Edmonton in 1990.
Sgt Davidson, 24, was killed in an explosion in Borneo in 1965.
The RBL padre, the Rev Alistair Murray, led the service on Saturday.
The plaque was unveiled by Inverness Provost Alex Graham. Major General Seymour Munro and Lieutenant Colonel Bobby Towns, formerly of the Queen’s Own Highlanders, also attended.
