The 80th anniversary of D-Day in Largs was commemorated on the hillside between Largs and Skelmorlie as a popular visitor attraction hosted a beacon lighting ceremony.
The prestigious event was hosted at Skelmorlie's Secret Bunker and included free competitions, a museum D-Day display, and the lighting of the beacon as darkness began to fall.
Piper Eddy Van Kaathoven performed some of the tunes played by Bill Millin, who was Lord Lovat's personal piper as the commandos stormed the Normandy beaches.
The Co-op stores in Largs and Wemyss Bay both sponsored the event, as did the Fish Works in Largs, which provided fish and chips to members of the 25 Group Royal Observer Corps Association, the group responsible for restoring the Skelmorlie monitoring post and opening it to the public.

"It was an absolute honor to be part of such a significant event."
In Millport, a short service was held to mark the anniversary at the war memorial in Guildford Street,
