Trade unionists from across the country will attend the funeral of rail union leader Bob Crow today.
The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union said Mr Crow's family have asked for the funeral service at the City of London Cemetery and Crematorium to be private.
But trade unionists, friends and colleagues of Mr Crow, will be invited to line the route of the procession.
The procession will include trade union banners and flags and will end at the cemetery gates.
The RMT executive said it hoped for a huge turnout at the annual May Day march in London to honour Mr Crow, who died earlier this month at the age of 52.
Meanwhile, more details have been released of former Labour cabinet minister Tony Benn's funeral.
The service will take place at St Margaret's Church in Westminster at 11am on Thursday.
Mr Benn's body will be taken by hearse from the gates of New Palace Yard, with family members following on foot.
People wishing to attend have been asked to email benn.funeral@westminster-abbey.org.
A memorial meeting will be held later in the year.
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
