Second body removed from UK pub

THE body of a second victim has been removed from the Glasgow hotel which collapsed when a police helicopter crashed through its roof.

At least eight people were killed when the helicopter crashed into the Clutha Vaults pub in Scotland's largest city on Friday night, including the civilian pilot and two police officers.

Work to remove the chopper from the site is under way.

Police Scotland said on Sunday it would be a "painstaking process" expected to take some time, stressing the need to ensure the safety of the operation and emergency workers.

The body was removed from the crash scene at the same time as a service to remember the victims was being held in the city.

Hundreds of people were at Glasgow Cathedral, where prayers were said and candles lit.

Police Scotland have so far named only one of the victims as Gary Arthur, 48, from the Paisley area.

His daughter, Celtic and Scottish women's footballer Chloe Arthur, 18, wrote on Twitter: "RIP dad. you'll always mean the world to me, I promise to do you proud, I love you with all my heart.

"'Thanks to everyone who has tweeted me, text me etc, means so much, I have the most amazing friends ever."

John McGarrigle, 38, said an eyewitness told him his father, also John McGarrigle, 59, had also been killed.

Reports have also named helicopter pilot David Traill and police officer Kirsty Nelis as among the dead.

A post on the Facebook page of Mr Traill's cousin Heather Lawson read: "RIP David Traill my lovely big cousin away far to soon xxx"

Many of Mrs Nelis' friends on the social networking site changed their profile pictures to a black square cut across by a thin blue line in remembrance.

Deputy Chief Constable Rose Fitzpatrick said on Sunday: "We hope to make further formal identifications as the operation continues today.

"Our casualty bureau has already handled more than 600 calls and we are working hard to piece together information that will allow us to progress that.

"Clearly the processes involved take time."
