It is with profound sadness that we share the loss of our dear friend and lifelong member, Alan Michie, who passed away in the early hours of 28th January 2026.

Alan will forever be remembered as a man who held the community at his heart. As Chairman of the RBLS Biggar Branch for many years, he took great pride in organising the Remembrance Parade, ensuring our veterans and fallen heroes were never forgotten.

Our thoughts are with his daughter, Gail, at this sad time.

The commitment and sacrifice of British personnel who served in Afghanistan must never be diminished. The loss of 457 UK service personnel, and the lasting physical and mental impact on thousands more and their families, stands as a powerful reminder of the true cost of that conflict.

The men and women of the British Armed Forces, from the UK, the Commonwealth and beyond have shown unwavering dedication in service of our freedoms and in support of our allies. They deserve enduring respect, recognition and gratitude, and we condemn any comments that undermine their extraordinary contribution.

Support for our Armed Forces remains a core value across our nation, we continue to ensure that their service and sacrifice are acknowledged and honoured, across communities, cultures and faiths.

We remain unwavering in our support for all those who have served, and for the families who continue to live with the impact of that service, through our Veterans Community Support Service and our nationwide Branch network.
