The funeral for Julie Walker, 37, and her six-year-old son Lucas will be held on Friday.

The mother and son were pulled from the sea after getting into difficulty in the sea off Aberdeen on Saturday, August 20, but later died in hospital. 

Samuel Walker, 13, also required hospital treatment after going into the water to try and rescue them.

On Friday morning, a celebration of their lives will be held at Aberdeen Crematorium.

A family announcement described them as a "much loved mother and brother of Jordan, Samuel and Broc, a dear daughter, sister, auntie, niece and cousin".

It added: "Lucas was a very dearly loved son, grandson, brother and nephew. Julie and Lucas will be so sorely missed."

A previous statement released by their family said they had been "devastated" by their loss.
