The families of murdered hostages David Haines and Alan Henning came together at a memorial service in Perth on Saturday.
The service was held for aid worker Mr Haines, from Scone, who, like Mr Henning, was killed by Islamic State terrorists.
Around 600 people attended at Perth Congregational Church. They had been told to wear bright clothing to add to the sense of celebrating his life.
Attendees included Mr Haines’ brother Mike, who entered the church with Barbara Henning, widow of Alan Henning.
The pair published a letter urging people to come together to defeat terrorism.
“Together we have the power to defeat the most hateful acts,” the letter stated.
Mr Haines, 44, who was born in Yorkshire, but brought up in Perth, was murdered by IS members last month.
He was captured in Syria last year, and a video of him being beheaded was released by IS.
At the time, Prime Minister David Cameron condemned the act as “pure evil”.
Bethany Haines, 17, arrived at the service clutching a single white rose and recalled some of the memories of her late father.
The Rev Gordon Campbell, of Perth Congregational Church, said: “David was an adventurous guy, with a sense of fun.
“I think he will be remembered above all for his caring disposition and his concern for other people and that was something we were reflecting on in the service.”
He continued: “We tried very much to be uplifted by David’s achievements, David’s life, David’s legacy, but we were also trying to think how we let that legacy live on in our lives.”
Mr Campbell pointed out that the service had a message of “peace and reconciliation,” and stated that the Muslim Council for Scotland attended the service.
Mr Haines was educated in Perth and spent 12 years as an engineer with the RAF before taking up his post as a humanitarian aid worker.
Along with Bethany, he leaves a four-year-old daughter in Croatia with his widow, Dragana Prodanovic.
Pete Wishart, MP for Perth and North Perthshire, said he found the service “really profound” and “moving,” and reserved a special thought for Bethany Haines.
“To hear eulogies spoken at the service must have been very difficult for family and friends of David Haines,” he said. “It took a lot of courage to do that, and, in particular, in the case of Bethany she did very well.”
A book of condolence in memory of Mr Haines is available for the public to sign in the foyer of Pullar House, Perth, on Monday and Tuesday, between 8.45am and 5pm.
