Police end search for body

Police divers have ended their two-day search for the body of Ewen Beaton, who died in a canoe accident that killed his two sons and a young girl.

Further searches will continue using the coastguard and RNLI but Grampian Police confirmed its diving team would not return to the Loch Gairloch area.

Meanwhile, it was announced that the funeral of one of the young victims, Grace Mackay, five, will take place on Wednesday. She was among six people in the canoe when it overturned in the sea loch, near Ullapool, in the Highlands, on Sunday.
