The SNP parliamentarian was in the isles during the weekend and joined Davies and others marking International Worker\u2019s Memorial Day on Sunday, 28 April.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cSunday was a beautiful day organised by Joyce who has been campaigning on this issue for many years, driven with such passion after losing her father at a young age.<\/p>\n

\u201cI look forward to continuing to work alongside Joyce, folk locally, Shetland Arts, and Scottish Hazards to support the recognition of the cause in the isles and for a Memorial Stone to be established in Lerwick \u2013 a place for folk to come and pay their respects and remember loved one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joyce Davies, local campaigner for Scottish Hazards added: \u201cShetland Arts lit up our main Arts Centre, the Mareel, purple it was beautiful, even in the wind and rain.\u00a0 They hosted the entire day which I am very thankful for.\u201d<\/p>\n
