THE funeral of a Scottish couple who were killed in the Tunisia beach massacre will take place on Friday.

Mourners will gather at the service for Jim and Ann McQuire, from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, at Abronhill Church at 2pm.

Mr McQuire, 67, and his wife, 64 were described by Rev Joyce Keyes as a "kind and gentle couple".

They were both heavily involved with the Church of Scotland at Abronhill.

The couple was among the 38 people - including 30 Britons - shot dead by 23-year-old student Seifeddine Rezgui at the beach resort of Sousse on Friday June 26.

Hundreds of people attended a memorial service for the couple held last Friday at the church.

Linda Gray, Abronhill church's Session Clerk, said: "There were lots of people there and we were happy to be together to share our prayers with the community.

"We would like to thank everyone who came and also the very many people -some we knew and some we did not know-who sent messages of love and support. It was very kind."

She added they'd been comforted by the support received from other churches in Cumbernauld.

Books of condolence were opened by North Lanarkshire Council at sites across the area in memory of Mr and Mrs McQuire.

The funeral of Billy and Lisa Graham, from Bankfoot, near Perth, who also died in the attack, will take place at Perth Crematorium on Monday.

They had been in Tunisia to celebrate Mrs Graham's 50th birthday.

Their daughter Holly told The Courier: "It will be quite a sad day but we tried to make it personal for mum and dad."

The family of another British victim of the attack, Sue Davey, yesterday confirmed that a church service of thanksgiving will be held at St Editha's in her home town of Tamworth, Staffordshire, on July 17.

Ms Davey was killed along with her partner, Scott Chalkley, of Derby.

Thirty of the 38 victims were British, while three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian also died.

The final five bodies of British victims arrived back in the UK on Saturday. Inquests are being held into the deaths.

Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has vowed that those responsible for the massacre will be ''tracked down''.
