Nicola Sturgeon is to be banned from Alex Salmond’s funeral and memorial service following their dramatic fall out, it has been reported in the Sunday Mail. There is “not a chance in hell” that Ms Sturgeon will be invited to either a small private funeral or larger memorial service which his family are planning,

Sources say there's 'not a chance in hell' of Alex Salmond's former ally being invited to any celebrations of his life.

The body of former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has been brought back to Scotland on a private jet, six days after the politician died suddenly in North Macedonia.

Mr Salmond’s body will return to the north east of Scotland, close to his home in Strichen, Aberdeenshire, and the seats he represented at both Westminster and Holyrood, this afternoon. Plans are being put in place for a private family funeral along with a more public memorial service.

Former Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has died at 69, according to statements from Scotland’s main political parties and UK media reports.
