The Lord Lyon, representing HM The King, attended the Memorial Service this morning in St Salvator's Chapel, St Andrews, for the eminent artist and umquhile Ross Herald Extraordinary, Mark Dennis. The Lord Lyon gave the eulogy and the Officers of Arms attended in levée dress.
Mark's funeral hatchment was magnificently painted by Kevin Greig and Stanley Bird. The hatchment was borne in towards the end of the service preceded by the Officers of Arms while the organist played "The Herald's March" with which the Army Band often accompanies the procession of Officers of Arms from the Signet Library to the Mercat Cross for proclamations.
