Huge turnout for the funeral of firefighter Barry Martin, who died after tackling the blaze at Jenners department store building.
The funeral cortege made its way from the base of the Royal Mile, arriving at the Cathedral at 12.30pm when the service, by invitation, began. There will be a private committal thereafter.
Mr Martin was based at the McDonald Road Community Fire Station in Edinburgh and was part of the Blue Watch.
The Blue Watch in all Edinburgh fire stations will be stood down in order for staff to attend the funeral.
Ross Haggart, Scottish Fire and Rescue Service interim chief officer said: “Our thoughts remain very firmly with Barry Martin’s family as we plan to come together at St Giles’ Cathedral to pay our respects.
