Hundreds attend candlelit vigil for Bankfoot couple killed in Tunisia terror attack

The family of Billy and Lisa Graham arrive for the vigil.
The family of Billy and Lisa Graham arrive for the vigil.

Around 500 people attended a candlelit vigil to remember Bankfoot couple Billy and Lisa Graham.

The pair were among 38 people killed during the terrorist attack on the Tunisian beach resort of Sousse.

Hundreds of mourners, among them Deputy First Minister John Swinney, queued to pay their respects to the couple at Friday’s vigil in Bankfoot’s Innewan Gardens Park.

Flags hung at half-mast in the gardens of nearby homes and pipers played a lament as people waited to light a candle in remembrance.

Perth and Kinross councillor John Kellas, who lives near the Grahams, said: “It’s come home to everybody in Bankfoot just how international terrorism can affect even the smallest of communities, in far-flung places like Bankfoot in Scotland.

“The people were determined to come together to show their support for the family and to show that their memory of Billy and Lisa will be remembered for a long time in the future.”

Perth city centre had earlier come to a standstill as residents paused to remember all the victims of the Tunisian terrorist atrocities, but particularly Billy and Lisa.

Musicians busking in the busy high street stopped playing to mark the occasion at noon, while stores used tannoys to remind shoppers in advance about the minute’s silence.

Mr Graham’s brother, Lindsay, previously told the Courier: “Billy was the perfect brother and a very caring brother who was always looking out for his family.

“They will be sorely missed. They will always be in our thoughts.”

Perth and Kinross Council has also opened a book of condolence for the family in Pullar House. Billy was a retired member of the council’s Housing and Community Care service, where their daughter Holly works.

Billy also worked on the turnstiles at McDiarmid Park and St Johnstone wore black armbands during their Europa League qualifier in Armenia on Thursday in tribute to the couple.

Saints chairman Steve Brown said: “Billy was part of the St Johnstone family and a great ambassador for the club who always did his job with a smile on his face.”

Perth and Kinross Provost Liz Grant said: “I know that the local and wider community has come together to stand strong for the family and provide any support they have needed.”
