The St Magnus Centre was full when we arrived but we managed to squeeze onto a table.
They worked really hard pouring cups of tea, keeping the tables topped up with biscuits, bread, oatcakes and cheese as well as clearing the tables and putting out fresh crockery.
Two people kept busy dishing out a choice of soup and the kitchen staff were working away steadily.
I estimated they had over 120 people there and perhaps more because we had to leave before they were finished.
This was an extraordinary turn-out on a rainy Sunday afternoon and I think shows the compassion the people of Orkney feel towards the devastating plight of Palestinians.
