THE funeral of a former West Fife soldier who was found dead in Thailand will be held tomorrow.
Ex-forces veteran Steve Balfour, 35, from Rosyth, was in Pattaya to visit his estranged wife Nan Kidaw and their six-year-old daughter Georgina when he went missing on May 14.
His body was found in a room above a bar on May 15, but he was taken to a Bangkok police station as an unidentified foreigner.
Police identified his body more than a month later by a tattoo of Georgina's name on his forearm.
Mr Balfour served in the Royal Scots until 2010, and his disappearance triggered an online appeal by family and friends for information, with a crowdfunding page set up to help his loved ones go out to Thailand to find out what had happened.
His funeral will be held at 10am at Dunfermline Crematorium on Friday.
