On Sunday 6 July 2008 at 2.00pm there will be a Service of Remembrance in the Kirk of St Nicholas Uniting, Union Street Aberdeen. This great historic church has witnessed many events in its long history including services that have marked tragedy in the Oil and Gas Industry. Within the Kirk is St John's Chapel also known as the Oil Chapel. There rests the Book of Remembrance that records the names of all those who perished in the Piper Alpha disaster. The names and occupations of those who perished in the Piper Alpha Disaster and who will be remembered in the Kirk of St Nicholas on Sunday 6 July 2008 can be seen by visiting the website below.

This ecumenical service, which will be attended by the First Minister Alex Salmond, is open to all who wish to attend. The service will be held in the West Kirk of St Nicholas because of the large numbers we expect to be present.

You are invited to start a discussion about this event on the GrampianLife Forum.
