Tributes have poured in this week for a young Edinburgh dad who sadly passed away on Wednesday in the Marie Curie hospice.
Hearts fan Euan Smith, 24, was well-loved across the city as a stunned community came to terms with the tragic news.
The dad-of-two leaves behind his daughters six-year-old Cleo and two-year-old Freyha who he doted on.
A memorial is being held tonight outside Tynecastle Stadium at 8pm to let balloons and lanterns into the sky to remember Euan amid an outpouring of emotion.
