Lord Bhatia, who has died aged 91, was an Ismaili Muslim businessman born in East Africa who was ennobled in recognition of his charitable work since arriving in Britain in 1972.
A PLACE to remember and allow people to reflect on the devastating consequences of the past 11 months was one of the hopes of The Herald memorial garden campaign.
Coronavirus has torn through families and left loved ones grieving during unprecedented times. And our vision was to create a memorial garden as a tribute to the thousands of Scots who have lost their lives to covid. Just days after the campaign launched, Glasgow City Council offered us a site in the grounds of the stunning Pollok Country Park with the project gaining widespread support. A public fund has so far raised more than £42,000 towards the project.
