THE National's independence referendum anniversary event is the "ideal place to be" as Scotland marks 10 years since the historic vote, Lesley Riddoch has said.
On September 17 the newspaper is hosting a screening of indyref documentary To See Ourselves, followed by a panel and Q&A examining the future of the Yes movement.
Journalist and campaigner Riddoch will be on the panel alongside SNP depute leader Keith Brown and the film's director Jane McAllister. She will be joined by her father Fraser and friend Matthew, both central figures in the film.
Tickets are still available for the event, which is being held at Glasgow's Social Hub, located at 15 Candleriggs.
"People ask where you were on the day of the indyref 2014," Riddoch said. "But where will you be on the eve of the 10th anniversary?
"If you’re a Yesser, you’ll want to be amongst like-minded, like-hearted folk – this screening of Jane McAllister's fabulous funny and emotional film in Glasgow is the ideal place to be."
Her comments come after Brown praised the special event, saying he was "thrilled" to be taking part.
“This powerful documentary, capturing the passion and dedication of campaigners like Jane, Fraser and their family, is a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination that continue to drive our movement today," he said.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
