Jews in Glasgow held a memorial service on Sunday in remembrance of the victims of the Clutha bar helicopter crash.

Nine people died and dozens were injured when a police helicopter crashed into the crowded city-centre pub on Friday night.

The service, organised by Scotland’s senior rabbi, Moshe Rubin, at Giffnock Synagogue, was attended by 40 people.

Rabbi Rubin said: “It was very short notice and many people said they only heard about it afterwards, but I felt that it was extremely important to do something. What Jews always do in such events is get together and pray.
