Family and friends of Sheku Bayoh will gather at the spot where he died on Sunday to pay poignant tribute to the Kirkcaldy father.
Tuesday marked the first anniversary of the 31-year-old’s death as he was being detained by police on Hayfield Road, a day his family spent remembering him in private.
They have, however, asked relatives and friends to pay their respects this weekend by joining them to lay flowers near the junction of Hayfield Road and Hendry Road before walking to Templehall Community Centre for a remembrance ceremony.
There, the family will provide an update on their battle to get answers on how the trainee gas engineer died and launch a tribute music video in his honour.
Mr Bayoh, who left behind partner Collette Bell and two young children, is thought to have died from positional asphyxiation after being detained by nine police officers responding to reports of a man carrying a knife.
A female officer is said to have suffered serious head injuries during the detention and has yet to return to work.
No police were suspended following the incident, despite calls for this to happen by Mr Bayoh’s family and their lawyer Aamer Anwar.
The circumstances of the events of May 3 2015 are being investigated by the Police Investigations and Review Commissioner (PIRC) and once the findings are handed to the Lord Advocate, a mandatory fatal accident inquiry (FAI) will be held.
The Bayoh family have also called for a full public inquiry to address a number of issues which would not be covered by the FAI, including the impartiality of PIRC.
PIRC has insisted its investigation was completely unbiased.
A spokesman said: “The enquiry remains ongoing, and the Commissioner is committed to delivering a thorough, impartial and independent investigation.”
Adding that the organisation had offered to provide family liaison support to Mr Bayoh’s relatives, he stated: “The Commissioner met with the family and their representative in September to update them on the work of the investigation and the offer was made, and accepted, for them to participate in the process of identifying further forensic pathologists to provide an opinion on how Mr Bayoh died.”
Brian Docherty, chairman of the Scottish Police Federation, said: “The Scottish Police Federation looks forward to as early a Fatal Accident Inquiry as is possible in order that the full circumstances surrounding the death of Mr Bayoh can be examined.”
