The police helicopter that crash landed on the roof of a Glasgow pub on Frdfay night has been lifted from the site.

Shortly after 10:30 cranes began the delicate operation of lifting the wreckage from the remains of the Clutha Pub.

So far Police say 9 people have been confirmed dead in the tragedy - however many people are still missing.

Families have been expressing their frustration at the slow pace of the recovery effort.

But Assistant Chief Fire Officer David Goodhew says its a tricky site.

 

Emergency services are now searching parts of the Clutha pub that were previously inaccessible.

Three of the dead were on board the helicopter the remaining 6 were among the 120 people watching a performance by a ska band when the aircraft plunged onto the building on Friday night.
