Firefighters who worked alongside Barry Martin were part of his final journey today, as his coffin was carried along the cortege route at his funeral in Edinburgh by a specially prepared Turntable Ladder.
The 38-year-old died on Friday, 27 January, as a result of serious injuries sustained earlier that week during a large-scale fire at the former Jenners building in Edinburgh.
