Edinburgh memorial service pays tribute to former chancellor for his ‘decency, honesty and shrewd judgement’
Keir Starmer, Gordon Brown and Tony Blair joined a host of senior figures from across British politics on Tuesday to pay tribute to Alistair Darling, the former chancellor who died last month aged 70.
A congregation that included Scotland’s first minister, Humza Yousaf, the former Conservative chancellor George Osborne and the former Cabinet secretary Gus O’Donnell gathered for Darling’s memorial service at St Mary’s Episcopal Cathedral in Edinburgh.
