The appeal came from Fife Council as part of a consultation launched earlier this year.

It wants the views of parents on how any memorial should look and feel, and where it should be.

Alan Paul, senior manager said: ““We had held a couple of meetings before the country went into lockdown and a few families were able to share their thoughts and ideas.

“Some people, however, may not want or feel able to take part in a public meeting and we’d still like them to let us know what they think through our online consultation.

“It is important to us that we get the views of as many people as possible so we can make sure all the families feel it is for them.
