Service marks those who died in crash
Recovery work goes on as investigation opens

Scottish Deputy First Minister Nicola Sturgeon joined hundreds at Glasgow Cathedral yesterday to remember those killed and injured when a police helicopter crashed into a Glasgow pub on Friday night.

Emergency services continued with a complex recovery operation at the Clutha Vaults as air accident investigators began a probe into the cause.

Eight people are so far known to have died in the crash - including all three occupants of the helicopter and five others who were in the busy city-centre pub.
