'The ideal place to be': Lesley Riddoch on our indyref anniversary event

THE National's independence referendum anniversary event is the "ideal place to be" as Scotland marks 10 years since the historic vote, Lesley Riddoch has said.

On September 17 the newspaper is hosting a screening of indyref documentary To See Ourselves, followed by a panel and Q&A examining the future of the Yes movement.

Journalist and campaigner Riddoch will be on the panel alongside SNP depute leader Keith Brown and the film's director Jane McAllister. She will be joined by her father Fraser and friend Matthew, both central figures in the film.

Tickets are still available for the event, which is being held at Glasgow's Social Hub, located at 15 Candleriggs. 

"People ask where you were on the day of the indyref 2014," Riddoch said. "But where will you be on the eve of the 10th anniversary?

"If you’re a Yesser, you’ll want to be amongst like-minded, like-hearted folk – this screening of Jane McAllister's fabulous funny and emotional film in Glasgow is the ideal place to be."

Her comments come after Brown praised the special event, saying he was "thrilled" to be taking part.

“This powerful documentary, capturing the passion and dedication of campaigners like Jane, Fraser and their family, is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination that continue to drive our movement today," he said.
