Scottish victims of Tunisia beach attack repatriated

Scottish victims of Tunisia beach attack repatriated

The Scottish victims of the Tunisian massacre have been returned to the UK.

An RAF C17 transport plane carrying the remains of Jim and Ann McQuire, from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, and Billy and Lisa Graham, from Bankfoot, near Perth, touched down at the Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire.

British nationals made up the majority of the 38 killed by gunman Seifeddine Rezgui when he opened fire on holidaymakers on a beach in the resort of Sousse on Friday – along with three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian.

A national minute’s silence will be held at 12pm tomorrow, one week on from the incident.

There will be a gathering at Abronhill Church in Cumbernauld at the same time, where Mr McQuire, 67, and his wife, 64, were members.

Rev Joyce Keyes, who asked for privacy at the event, paid a fresh tribute to “a kind and gentle couple who will be sorely missed”.

She said: “We have been overwhelmed by expressions of support from those who loved this exceptional couple and many more messages from those who simply shared in our grief.

“Ann and Jim were a kind and gentle couple who will be sorely missed by our congregation; for their willingness to share their musical talents, for their contributions to the Boys’ Brigade and for the fellowship we shared.”

The Grahams were visiting the resort to celebrate Mrs Graham’s 50th birthday and a candlelit vigil is to be held in their memory.

A “Bankfoot get together” in memory of the couple will take place at Innewan Gardens Park at 7pm tomorrow, with those attending asked to bring a candle in a jar to place in the park.

Seven other Britons killed were on today’s flight while eight others were brought back to British soil yesterday and further flights are expected tomorrow and Saturday.
