Firefighters lock down Edinburgh street amid emergency incident
Fire crews used a height appliance to reach a tenement roof of a building on Edinburgh's Gorgie Road, which is home to Bibi's eatery. Firefighters locked down a busy Scots road as they respond to an emergency incident. A local resident captured the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) using a height appliance to reach a tenement roof building on Edinburgh's Gorgie Road on Saturday. Crews were called to the building, which is home to Bibi's eatery, at around 11.27am, reports Edinburgh Live. It is not yet known the cause of the suspected fire. Lothian Buses have said several services have been diverted from Gorgie Road due to a road closure which has been put in place while fire crews are on scene. Services 1, 2, 3, 25 and 33 will take an alternate route through the area. On the 1 service, Lothian said: "Due to a road closure buses are unable to serve part of Gorgie Road and are instead diverted via Robertson Avenue, Slateford Road and Angle Park Terrace in both directions until further notice." Meanwhile on the 2, 3, 25 and 33, they added: "Due to a road closure buses are unable to serve part of Gorgie Road and are instead diverted via Robertson Avenue, Slateford Road and Ardmillan Terrace in both directions until further notice."

Fury over 'overgrown' Glasgow cemetery where woman's loved ones are buried
Ceilidh McPherson is "absolutely appalled" with the condition of the cemetery where her grandparents were laid to rest. A granddaughter has blasted council bosses over the state of the cemetery where her family are buried - saying she had to clean the place herself once a month. Ceilidh McPherson is incensed at Glasgow City Council over the state of Sandymount Cemetery, near Barlanark and Springboig, in the east end of the city. She shared pictures of the cemetery with Glasgow Live as she hit out over the burial ground, which is overgrown with weeds and long grass and had toppled over headstones and litter throughout the area. She feels that Glasgow City Council"doesn't care" about how the cemetery looks and has been forced to tidy up her grandparents' graves herself. Ceilidh said: "My gran died in 2000 and was buried in Sandymount. At the time they were just getting rid of the grounds keepers so it was spotless. "Growing up, we went every Saturday, and I noticed the lack of grass cutting and care to the cemetery. We recently buried my granda in 2020 there and noticed full-on neglect from then to now. "The graves are sinking and overgrown with weeds and grass. Weeds are so high. I'm 5ft 6 and they're as tall as me nearly. I now go to the graves few times a month to clear what I can. All stones are now falling over you can't tell who's who. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

"The people that live there are throwing their rubbish onto the gravesites and not caring. I'm absolutely shocked and livid that the council isn't doing anything about it. "We should always respect the dead, they deserve a forever resting place that's well kept. Not a rubbish overgrown pits. Dunbartonshire cares more about its gravesites than Glasgow City Council does." A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: 'Fly-tipping is unacceptable in any circumstances but it is grossly insensitive in a place where people go to mourn. 'We have a maintenance programme in place for Sandy Mount Cemetery which includes regular grass cuts, strimming around headstones and the application of herbicide where necessary." The council's spokesperson added: 'Our teams are scheduled to visit the cemetery in the coming days to undertake the next round of work. 'There has also been significant investment in the cemetery in recent years with new tarmac paths laid down and an extensive stretch of cemetery wall rebuilt. 'If anyone encounters fly-tipping or other issues of environmental concern within our cemeteries or other open spaces then these can be reported by the council's website, the MyGlasgow phone app or through the @MyGlasgowCC social media accounts.'

King Charles to address nation on 80th anniversary of VJ Day tomorrow morning
The monarch has recorded a special message to the Nation, Realms and Commonwealth, to make the occasion. King Charles III has paid tribute to those who fought and died in the Pacific and Far East for the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, saying their sacrifice and service "shall never be forgotten". The monarch has recorded a special message to the Nation, Realms and Commonwealth, to make the occasion. The message will be broadcasted at 7.30am in the UK tomorrow as commemorations take place across the world. The address will echo the historic one delivered by his grandfather, King George VI, who announced the end of the Second World War on August 15, 1945, the Mirror reports. During the six minute audio broadcast, Charles will reference the experience endured by Prisoners of War, and to the innocent civilians of occupied lands in the region, whose suffering 'reminds us that war's true cost extends beyond battlefields, touching every aspect of life'. The King's message, was recorded last week in the Morning Room at Clarence House. In the personally penned address, Charles will also describe how the heroes of VJ Day 'gave us more than freedom; they left us the example of how it can and must be protected', since victory was made possible by close collaboration between nations, 'across vast distances, faiths and cultural divides'. His Majesty will also comment on how the selfless determination of our greatest generation demonstrated that, 'in times of war and in times of peace, the greatest weapons of all are not the arms you bear but the arms you link'. The King's full message will be released at 7.30am in the UK tomorrow as commemorations take place across the world. On August 15, 1945, King George VI spoke to the nation to herald the beginning of a new era for Britain and Europe, saying: 'Japan has surrendered, so let us join in thanking Almighty God that war has ended throughout the world, and that in every country men may now turn their industry, skill, and science to repairing its frightful devastation and to building prosperity and happiness. 'Our sense of deliverance is overpowering, and with it all, we have a right to feel that we have done our duty. I ask you again at this solemn hour to remember all who have laid down their lives, and all who have endured the loss of those they love.' As part of national commemorations next week the country is set to fall silent for two minutes to honour the 80th anniversary of VJ Day. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The King and Queen will also tomorrow attend a service of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire, featuring a 400-strong contingent from the armed forces, a display by the Red Arrows and historic planes from the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight. Organised in collaboration with the Royal British Legion (RBL), the remembrance service will be attended by Second World War veterans, who Charles and Camilla will meet. As part of the commemorations this year, the King, 76, in January travelled to Poland to commemorate 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The monarch said "the act of remembering the evils of the past remains a vital task" as he met Holocaust survivors in Poland. While VE Day, on May 8, 1945, marked the conclusion of the war in Europe, the fight against Japanese forces in Asia and the Pacific continued for three more months, involving thousands of British and Commonwealth troops. During four days of commemorations in London, King Charles welcomed some of the last remaining WWII veterans and their families to Buckingham Palace for a special engagement to acknowledge their sacrifice. At a concert in Horse Guards Parade he further echoed the words of his grandfather saying: 'His words echo down through history as all this week, and especially today, we unite to celebrate and remember with an unwavering and heartfelt gratitude, the service and sacrifice of the wartime generation who made that hard-fought victory possible. "While our greatest debt is owed to all those who paid the ultimate price, we should never forget how the war changed the lives of virtually everyone.'
