The widow of the latest British victim of the Algeria siege to be identified has described him as "the most amazing person".
Sebastian John was one of six UK nationals, including two Scots, thought to have died in the terrorist attack at the BP gas facility at In Amenas.
Civil engineer Mr John, 26, of Twickenham, Middlesex, who had a seven-month-old baby and was married to Nicola, would be eternally missed, she said.
Mrs John said: "Sebastian was the most amazing person. He was a fantastic husband, father, son and brother. There won't be a moment that goes by where we won't think of him."
A total of 37 foreign workers are believed to have died at the remote desert facility which was overrun by heavily-armed militia. Some 29 of the hostage-takers died, while three were captured by Algerian troops during a special forces mission.
Three of the Britons killed have been named as planning manager Kenneth Whiteside, 59, from Glenrothes, and Paul Morgan and Garry Barlow, 49, both from Liverpool. Carson Bilsland, from Perthshire, has also reportedly died.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
