ByThe Courier Reporter
More than 200 mourners gathered for the funeral of the 10th victim of the Clutha helicopter crash.
Joe Cusker, 59, was inside the pub when a police helicopter crashed through the roof on November 29.
Mr Cusker, of Cambuslang, near Glasgow, was pulled from the wreckage alive but died in hospital from his injuries almost two weeks later.
Mourners gathered for his funeral service at South Lanarkshire Crematorium in Blantyre on Wednesday. Police outriders accompanied the hearse as it arrived at the crematorium for the humanist service.
The coffin was draped with a red socialist flag and a single white rose had been placed on top.
