Flag at half mast at School Place

Date: 28 April 2020

Time: 10:20

The flag at the Council offices in Kirkwall is flying at half mast as part of the nationwide tribute to key workers who have lost their lives during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Council staff have been invited to take part in a minute’s silence at 11am today as a mark of respect.

The minute’s silence, which will be observed across the UK, is timed to coincide with International Workers' Memorial Day.
