A MEMORIAL bench will be unveiled this weekend for West Fife firefighter Barry Martin who died last year following injuries he sustained tackling a blaze at the Jenners building in Edinburgh.
To mark his 40th birthday, Barry Martin Day is being put on at the Pitreavie Sports and Soccer Centre by the Barry Martin Foundation and the Pars Foundation on Saturday.
Barry's bench will be unveiled at the event while drop in and play football sessions will be on for primary school children of all ages and abilities.

The football sessions run from 10.30am and are free – booking is advised through the Pars Foundation website – however donations are welcomed which will go to the Barry Martin Foundation.
The event is on from midday until 4pm and will include a range of fun activities, inflatables and food.
Barry was from Rosyth and tragically died on January 27, 2023, tackling the large-scale fire at the former Jenners store in the capital.
