Firefighters who served alongside Barry Martin were part of his final journey today as a specially prepared Turntable Ladder was used to carry his coffin along the cortege route at his funeral in Edinburgh.

Barry was given a Guard of Honour by his colleagues from McDonald Road Community Fire Station. A minute’s silence was observed by guests and Barry’s fellow Blue Watch firefighters, who were the pallbearers, accompanied their colleague for one last time.

Hundreds of people gathered in Edinburgh to pay their respects as the cortege made its way along the Royal Mile to St Giles’ Cathedral for the funeral service.

Interim Chief Officer Ross Haggart gave Barry the last salute before entering the Cathedral. He said: "We all feel this loss deeply and we will ensure that Barry's selfless duty will never be forgotten."
