Family, friends and politicians have gathered in a small Highland village to bid a fond farewell at the funeral of former Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy.
Nick Clegg and Danny Alexander were among those paying their last respects at St Johns in Caol, Fort William, near his home. Mr Kennedy died at his home in the Highlands on 1 June after suffering a major haemorrhage as a result of his battle with alcoholism. He was 55 years old. Monsignor James MacNeil - who's led the service - remembers Mr Kennedy as a down-to-earth and genuine man. House of Commons Chaplin Cannon Peter Brown says Charles led a good life.
