I am glad that a member of the Royal Family was present. No flapping windsock-esque flashes there!

Since they appear to be military service medals, any ideas as to why that gent is wearing them on the right side?

Its the way we over here wear medals(of a relative usually) that he himself did not earn and makes it very plain to observers that he did not. I don't know in this case, but as they are actually WW1 medals and as the ceremony was to commemorate a disaster of that time then I suspect the gentleman in the picture might have had a relative connected to the event. Whoever the gentleman who actually won the medals was, he was a brave man.He won the Military Cross(a gallantry medal) and fought right through WW1.

None of the articles I saw in various newspapers identified anyone else in the photos beyond Ms Sturgeon and Prince Charles.

Here is another view of Prince Charles.
From:bbc.com this article
Question: Is the flag-bearer wearing a kilt? It looks like they have hose and maybe flashes poking out the sides but if that is a kilt, it doesn’t appear to be tartan. The photo is low res unfortunately.
