The family of a firefighter who died tackling a blaze at the former Jenners department store have invited the public to pay their respects. Barry Martin, 38, from Fife, joined Fire and Rescue colleagues battling a blaze which had ripped through the historic landmark on Edinburgh's Royal Mile on 23 January when he suffered critical injuries.
The dad of two was rushed to the Royal Infirmary as medics fought to stabilise the heroic firefighter. Sadly, his injuries proved to be fatal and he died four days later on 27 January.
Barry's funeral is to be held at St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh on February 17. His family have invited the public to pay their respects by lining the Royal Mile from 12pm as his procession makes its way to the Cathedral.
