Ayrshire CND are organising a Day Of Remembrance
for the thousands of people

Today 50 years after,
thousands of people still suffer the effects of
radiation and unfathomable
emotional pain.

The Day Of Remembrance has been organised not

suffered but also to
campaign against the replacement of Trident Nuclear
Weapons and the threat to
humanity which is still
posed by Nuclear Weapons.
