Watch: Alex Salmond's coffin at church and cortege led by piper
A private funeral service has been held for Alex Salmond as the former first minister was laid to rest.
His coffin, draped in a saltire, arrived at Strichen Parish Church, near the former Alba and SNP leader's Aberdeenshire home, shortly before 12:00.
Salmond died of a heart attack, aged 69, while attending a conference in North Macedonia just over two weeks ago.
The service, attended by family and close friends, is to be followed by a private burial.
