Don't be a fanny. **Today in Scottish History** On 12 May 1994, Labour leader, John Smith, died. The death stunned the nation. His funeral was held in Edinburgh a few days later and he was buried on the ancient holy island of Iona off the coast of Argyll. Politicians of all parties mourned in what was seen as a significant loss to the whole country, and people of all classes grieved for a man who came to be known as a lost leader. John Smith was widely respected for his honesty and integrity. In an age when trust in politicians was diminishing, he was seen as a plain man, sincere in his humanity. He was also one of the shrewdest and most able politicians the twentieth century had seen. A popular, convivial, figure too, he has been much missed in the years that followed. On 12 May 1999 the Scottish Parliament reconvened with Dr Winifred M Ewing MSP as acting Presiding Officer. Her first words to the Parliament were - The Scottish Parliament which adjourned on the 25th of March in the year 1707 is hereby reconvened. **/r/GlasgowMarket Digest** [Duronic Hot Plate HP2BK - £10](/r/glasgowmarket/comments/naavhq/duronic_hot_plate_hp2bk_10/) [Dell XPS 15 Laptop - very high spec, £1,150.](/r/glasgowmarket/comments/n9d1ox/dell_xps_15_laptop_very_high_spec_1150/) [Sony Bravia KDL-40EX503 40inch HDTV - £100](/r/glasgowmarket/comments/n92app/sony_bravia_kdl40ex503_40inch_hdtv_100/) [500GB Playstation 4 console + Cables & 1 controller - £170 - collection](/r/glasgowmarket/comments/n8o3ja/500gb_playstation_4_console_cables_1_controller/) [domestic gas services ( boiler,fire,cooker,hob,range) Discounts](/r/glasgowmarket/comments/n8jcqz/domestic_gas_services_boilerfirecookerhobrange/) [Body Revolution Doorway Mounted Pull Up Bar |
