LIKE everywhere else outside of people’s own homes, Clydebank has been quieter during the pandemic. But the stillness that hung over the town on Saturday seemed particularly noticeable, as memories turned to those who lost loved ones when the Luftwaffe’s bombs began to fall on Bankies and their homes and workplaces 80 years ago. The lockdown restrictions had long since meant that plans to properly commemorate the anniversary of the Blitz had been put on hold, hopefully to be staged later this year. But in order to ensure that two of the darkest days in Clydebank’s history were marked in some form, there were two small, solemn ceremonies held in the town on Saturday morning.
