is all for now. I will be back with the late news here on

Thousands of people have taken part in Scotland's Drumhead Service

:00:08.:00:17.

at Edinburgh Castle, commemorating the centenary of World War One.

:00:18.:00:19.

The service, which featured an altar of drums, replicated those held by

:00:20.:00:22.

A military procession then made its way along the city's Royal Mile.

:00:23.:00:33.

This is the type of service that would have been held on the front

commemorations of the First World War. When we think of what is going

on in places like Iraq, we think of Syria and the Middle East and other

:01:29.:01:33.

countries. How appropriate is it that we are remembering something

:01:34.:01:37.

that was so regrettably similar, 100 years on? Then the procession from

the castle to Holyrood Park. Thousands of military and the

congregation from this morning's service are processing down here.

This is a replica of what would have happened here 100 years ago, when

soldiers marched as to war. Hopefully we will get peace in the

future, and there will be no more wars. It is important for the
