DETAILS of Scottish Government minister Christina McKelvie's funeral have been announced.
The late SNP MSP will be laid to rest at Daldowie Crematorium near Uddingston at 3pm on Friday, April 11.
Attendees have been asked by McKelvie's family to "wear some pink, yellow, blue or turquoise".
Born in Easterhouse, the politician died last month, aged 57.
McKelvie took medical leave from her role as the alcohol and drugs policy minister last year to seek treatment for secondary breast cancer.
Fellow SNP representative Keith Brown, McKelvie’s long-time partner, announced her death on March 26.
He said: “To us, she was our beloved mum, partner and gran to Maeve and Leo,” the statement said.
“She was always hard working and enthusiastic and lit up every room she was in with her positivity and bright smile.
“She was always proud of her working class roots in Easterhouse and often said she could not have dreamt of becoming a government minister for the Scottish Government.”
Originally from the Easterhouse area of Glasgow, McKelvie was elected as an MSP in 2007 before winning the constituency in 2011.
She was a minister in the Scottish Government for seven years, serving as equalities minister between 2018 and 2023, and then culture minister before moving into her most recent role as the Government looked to stem the drug deaths crisis.
She had previously undergone treatment for breast cancer, which ended successfully in 2021, but announced last year she required further treatment.
As a result, she took medical leave from her ministerial job, with her role filled by Health Secretary Neil Gray and public health minister Jenni Minto.
