A memorial is to be held for missing Scots RAF gunner Corrie McKeague at his former base today, his family has said.
Corrie McKeague, 23, sparked an intensive manhunt after going missing on September 24 2016 while on a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. The airman from Dunfermline, Fife, had been stationed at RAF Honington when he went missing in the early hours.

"We have looked at and are considering recording the memorial for ourselves and Corries daughter as she grows up, sharing it on social media is something we will all have to discuss as a family when we are ready." She has also asked that anyone who plans to attend, and is able to wear a uniform, does so.
"For all others we would ask you wear what you
