The family of Fife man Reece Rodger have given thanks to those who assisted in the search for the missing dad, as they reveal his funeral details.
The 28-year-old was last seen at Loch Rannoch in Perthshire on March 18 on a camping trip with friends. The alarm was raised the morning after when his friends couldn't find him, reports the Daily Record.
This sparked major land and water searched to find the father-of-two. A body was discovered on May 27.

She said: "Firstly, thank you from the bottom of our hearts to everyone involved in the search for Reece. There are too many people to mention due to the sheer amount of support we’ve had, but please know you got us through the past few months.
"Your generosity and kindness has been overwhelming and you made a very difficult situation in our life a little easier. We will never forget you. We love you all."
Paula went to reveal that Reece's funeral will take place at Dunfermline Crematorium at 1.15pm on Friday, June 16. She said that everyone is welcome to join them "to celebrate Reece’s precious 28 years". Those attending are asked to wear bright colours while donations collected will be given to Beneath the Surface, a charity supporting trauma recovery.
She added: "As you can imagine, our grief is unimaginable and we need to take time to process it all and grieve as a family. Reece’s FB page has been pivotal in our search for him and now we have him - there will be no further updates.
"Take care of you and your loved ones. Thank you will never be enough."
