Hundreds of fans have lined the streets to attend the funeral of one of Scotland’s most beloved musician’s today (Thur).

Bay City Rollers star Alan Longmuir was laid to rest at Allan Church in Bannockburn, Stirling today.

The Edinburgh born musician died surrounded by family at Forth Valley Hospital, Larbert, at 6am on July 2 at the age of 70.

Alan’s bandmates were not present at the service as they are currently touring in Australia.

But his former bandmate Nobby Clark was there to pay his respects.

Stepson Nik Rankin and close friend Liam Rudden paid tribute to Alan at the service, which started with the hymn Morning Has Broken and ended with Abide By Me.

Highland Cathedral was also played on the bagpipes as the coffin was brought into the church.
