Octopus of Odstock 2,187 Posted October 25, 2023 Going through the DDP longlist, I noted that a recent Wiki edit of Lydia Reid's page had taken place, with the note that "my aunt died in June 2023". This was reverted due to a lack of source material, but having gone on Scotland's people, the anonymous editor is right. I'm glad she got to bury her son after all these years fighting before she died. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydia_Reid_(activist) Hopefully someone can change her Wiki page accordingly.
