Ian Blackford said his thoughts were with those who made the "ultimate sacrifice".

Labour MP Anna McMorrin made an awkward reference to how the prime minister’s new “cost of living tsar”, David Buttress, has previously called for Boris Johnson to go.
After he was appointed yesterday, past tweets of him previously criticising the government’s record - and the prime minister personally - were swiftly dug out.
But No10 sources, and those close to David Buttress, have argued party politics needs to be “put aside” to help people with the rising cost of living and that his business experience makes him the right man for the job.
Tom Randall, Conservative MP for Gedling, notes it's Pension Credit Awareness Day, and that around a quarter of those entitled do not claim. He urges the PM to join him in encouraging people to check their eligibility and claim.
The PM says it's a worthwhile and important campaign, and that pension credit can be worth another £3,300 a year.
The more we can do to make pensioners aware of it the better, the says.
Ahead of next week's by-election in Tiverton and Honiton in Devon, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey focuses on the cost of living and soaring petrol prices.
He calls on the government to increase the scope of Rural Fuel Duty Relief, saying some counties are not currently eligible.
Boris Johnson accuses the Lib Dems of "bamboozling" rural voters with their policies, because people don't know what these policies are.
He says rural communities would be hit hard by higher green taxes and a return to the Common Agricultural Policy, both of which he says are backed by the party.
Conservative MP for Eastbourne Caroline Ansell asks a question on behalf of a family with a two-year-old who has been diagnosed with Metachromatic Leukodystrophy, a rare disease.
Because an MLD test wasn't taken early on in diagnosis, the family are now having to put their child into palliative care, she says.
Boris Johnson says the National Screening Committee is looking at whether or not MLD tests should take place more regularly as part of other diagnostics.
Boris Johnson says he doesn't doubt Blackford's skills as a conversationalist, but the national conversation should be about coming through the aftershocks of Covid, not Scottish independence.
He says the whole of the UK should stand together on the international stage against Russia's action in Ukraine - and that is what we should be talking about.
SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford refers to First Minister Nicola Sturgeon's statements on independence yesterday. Refering to Iceland, Norway and Denmark he says they are outperforming the UK on things like poverty and productivity.
The evidence is overwhelming, Scotland is being held back by Westminster he says.
All those countries can use powers of independence, he says, why not Scotland?
Conservative MP Andrew Selous says a father of four in his constituency missed an early bowel cancer diagnosis due to a lack of doctors in the area due to new housing developments placing pressure on local services. He says the cancer diagnosis is now terminal.

As we've been reporting, the benches are rowdy today and the Speaker is having a hard time controlling the Commons.

After the prime minister faced a bruising few weeks and a vote of confidence, and the Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer faced criticisms of a flat performance here last week, both leaders have their troops out cheering for them in spades today.
Boris Johnson faced repeated chants of “why why why” and pointing from the opposition benches when asked why the UK’s economic growth was trailing other countries.
But he was also welcomed with loud cheers from his backbenches for his responses, who were quick to shout “oh dear” and laugh at the Labour leader’s attack lines.
Behind the scenes both have work to do to bolster support among some factions of their own MPs, but in public the cheers and jeers are back.
In his final answer, the PM says the Labour leader repeatedly tried to get his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn, elected.
He says the government will carry on taking the "tough decisions" that are needed because it is "on the side of the British people", unlike Labour - which he says is "on the side of the RMT union barons".
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says he doesn't want rail strikes to go ahead, while saying Boris Johnson does "so he can feed on the division".
Sir Keir starts quoting various Conservative MPs who have made negative comments against the prime minister, asking who has said what.
"My personal favourite is this... they call him the Conservative Corbyn, prime minister, I don't think that was intended as a compliment," he says.
"Week after week, he stands there and spouts the same nonsense... everything is going swimmingly," he calls the prime minister "totally deluded".
"Under him, Britain's economy is going backwards," he finishes.
The PM says the government is helping people with the cost of living because the economy is "robust" - thanks to measures opposed by Labour.
He also returns to the planned rail strikes, saying they will increase businesses' costs.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says the government have introduced "15 tax rises and we're set for the highest tax burden since rationing".
He says the government has "lost control of inflation," which he was first warned about last October, but "he didn't act, he sat on his hands".
"We're set to have the highest inflation in the G7," he says, and asks when Boris Johnson realised his cost of living promises were unfounded.
The PM replies saying taxes and unemployment always go up under Labour governments.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer says Boris Johnson is "not just denying how bad things are, he is actively making things worse".
He says the director of the CBI is asking for the government to stop dealing with trying to save Boris Johnson, and instead move to trying to help the economy.
Boris Johnson says the UK has the highest number of people in payroll employment in history, and Labour "should be talking the country up, not down"
