A heartbroken Scots dad fears his children will not be able to attend their mother's funeral due to travel costs amid the cost of living crisis.
Stuart Chesmar, 50, from the Isle of Bute, and his beloved partner Emma Carpenter had been together for 10 years before she sadly died on September 29 from terminal cancer at the age of 44.
One of Emma's dying wishes was to be buried in her former hometown of Newark-on-Trent in England. With her burial taking place next week, the family has been plunged into uncertainty about whether they can attend or not as travel costs are estimated to come in at around £300 for the 614-mile round journey.
