Remembrance Day Reflections and a Busy Week for Hirst Locksmiths – Earlston, TD4 6ET
Hirst Locksmiths, based in Earlston, Scottish Borders (TD4 6ET), had a meaningful start to the week as owner Danny Hirst attended the local Remembrance Day gathering alongside East Green Nursery and Earlston Primary School.
At the end of the ceremony, a teacher from Earlston Primary School handed Danny a touching letter written by a P4 pupil. Earlier in the week, Danny had visited the school to talk about his time in the Army and the importance of keeping remembrance alive for future generations.
The letter read:
“Dear Danny,
Thank you so much for visiting Earlston Primary and showing us what it would be like in the Army and for letting us keep your number 2 hat. We will make sure we keep the hat very safe.
From [name], P4.”
Receiving this message was incredibly moving for Danny, reminding him why honouring those who made the ultimate sacrifice continues to matter so deeply in communities like Earlston and across the Scottish Borders.
Despite the emotional week, the Poppy Appeal efforts are nearly complete — with collection tins and poppies soon to be counted and banked. Meanwhile, locksmith work continues at pace, with jobs coming in rapidly from across the region.
Hirst Locksmiths still has availability for bookings throughout the week and continues to proudly support homes and businesses across:
Earlston, Melrose, Galashiels, Jedburgh, Lauder, Gordon, St Boswells, Greenlaw, Duns, Coldstream, Kelso, Clovenfords, Walkerburn, Innerleithen, Peebles, and the wider Scottish Borders.
