Memorial service planned in Suffolk for missing airman Corrie McKeague
The 23 year old, was was originally from Scotland, is now presumed dead
There are plans for a memorial service to remember missing RAF gunner Corrie McKeague, who hasn't been seen since a night out in Bury St Edmunds in 2016.
The 23 year old who was based at RAF Honington is now presumed dead.
An inquest earlier this year concluded that McKeague had died after climbing into a commercial waste bin, which was then tipped into a waste lorry.
His body has never been found, despite extensive searches of waste sites in Cambridgeshire.
Now, his mother Nicola Urquhart says she's meeting with RAF officials to plan a memorial service for Corrie in Suffolk later this year.
In a statement, a spokesperson for he RAF base said:
‘’The thoughts of all of us at RAF Honington remain with Corrie's family, friends and colleagues.
"We are working closely with Mrs Urquhart and the details of a memorial for Corrie will be confirmed in due course.’’
At the conclusion of the inquest into his death, Corrie was described as a "charming, compassionate" and "living life to the full".
