The funeral for Billy and Lisa Graham, who were killed in last month's terror attacks in Tunisia, has taken place.

Led by the Reverend Sydney Graham, the private service for the couple from Bankfoot was held in Perth Crematorium on Crieff Road at 12:00.

Mr Graham told mourners that the couple had had "a lovely relationship and life together".

The funeral of Jim and Anne McQuire, the other Scots couple killed in the Sousse attacks, took place on Friday.

The Grahams were visiting the resort to celebrate Mrs Graham's 50th birthday.

Mr Graham, 51, had worked as a turnstile operator at St Johnstone Football Club for seven years, having previously served for 22 years in the 5th Royal Inniskilling Dragoon Guards, who were represented at the funeral.

They were among the 30 Britons who died in the attack on 26 June, which killed 38 people. Three Irish nationals, two Germans, one Belgian, one Portuguese and one Russian also died.

During the service, Mr Graham said: "Billy and Lisa had a lovely relationship and life together at Bankfoot with their much loved daughter Holly and Bailey Boy, the mini longhaired Daschund who earned a special place in their family life.

"They created and enjoyed a beautiful home in Bankfoot and worked hard in our community.

"We are absolutely devastated and it is outrageous what happened to them as they enjoyed a well-earned rest in the sun at a favourite place.

"But love is eternal and stronger than death and no irrational act of man's inhumanity to man can ever defeat the power of love."
