Mum of RAF gunner Corrie McKeague asks guests to wear bright colours at memorial

A memorial service is to be held for RAF gunner Corrie McKeague at his former base, his mother has said.

Mr McKeague, an airman of Dunfermline, Fife, was 23 when he vanished in the early hours of September 24 2016 on a night out in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Earlier this year, an inquest recorded in a narrative conclusion that Mr McKeague got into a bin that was then emptied into a waste lorry.

The serviceman, who was stationed at RAF Honington, died at about 4.20am in Bury St Edmunds as a result of "compression asphyxia in association with multiple injuries", jurors recorded.
