The family of a Glaswegians sailor who died during World War II when his ship was sunk by a German U-boat have paid an emotional first visit to his grave almost 80 years after his death.
Relatives of John Lee visited La Palma in the Canary Islands to pay their respects to the 22-year-old Gunner, who was aboard British troop transporter The President Doumer ravelling from Sierra Leone to Liverpool when he was killed in a torpedo attack.
John – who served with the British Royal Navy’s Royal Artillery Maritime Regiment – was buried after his lifeless body washed up on a beach at Playa de las Goteras in La Palma in March 1943.
