Alex Salmond's Body to Be Repatriated to Scotland

News summary

Alex Salmond, the former First Minister of Scotland, passed away at 69 from a heart attack while attending a conference in North Macedonia. Officials have confirmed that the technical arrangements for repatriating his body are nearly complete, with a special flight expected in the coming days. The UK Foreign Office is providing consular support to Salmond's family and is in contact with local authorities to facilitate the return. Supporters and political allies, including Chris McEleny and Conservative MP David Davis, are advocating for the RAF to transport his body directly to Scotland. However, it appears that a charter flight funded by the Scottish Government may be the most viable option for repatriation. Salmond's death has prompted tributes in the House of Commons and plans for a minute's applause at an upcoming football match.
