THE Scottish victims of the Tunisian massacre have been returned to the UK.
An RAF C17 transport plane carrying the bodies of Jim and Ann McQuire, from Cumbernauld, North Lanarkshire, and Billy and Lisa Graham, from Bankfoot, near Perth, touched down at the Brize Norton air base in Oxfordshire today.
The remains of Trudy Jones, Janet and John Stocker and David Thompson were also on board the aircraft.
It came as the death toll of Britons was announced as 30.
Gunman Seifeddine Rezgui killed 38 people when he opened fire on a beach in the resort of Sousse last Friday.
Eight Britons killed in the terror attack were brought back to British soil on Wednesday, and further flights are expected tomorrow and Saturday.
Relatives of the dead were present at the airbase today to see their coffins removed from the plane.
As well as the British victims, three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian are among the dead.
