Police confirmed that the body of missing Scottish airman Corrie McKeague is at a landfill site in Cambridgeshire.
Milton Recycling Centre, Cambridgeshire, UK - 21 Nov 2018
His dad, Martin McKeague, says the family will be holding a private memorial for him in the near future after Suffolk Police released a statement saying they believe Corrie was taken away in a Biffa bin and taken to the rubbish tip in Milton.
It comes after Suffolk Police attended a meeting with Biffa Head Office, who confirmed the weight of the bin, which was picked up from outside Greggs in the Horseshoe area of Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk on September 24 when Corrie went missing.
They believed he climbed into the waste bin and fell asleep and the data showed the bin weighed 116kg - much higher than bin collection weights from the same place normally.

One hundred days after the RAFís official 100th birthday on 1 April, the RAF will mark 100 years of operations today with a series of spectacular events in London.
Over 1,000 RAF servicemen and women will perform a ceremonial parade, along with almost 300 personnel lining the route representing the diverse roles played within the RAF through the generations. There will also be a spectacular flypast of up to 100 aircraft over Buckingham Palace at 1:00pm representing the RAFís history, its continued operational role in securing the UKís skies, and the future of air power.
Parade and Flypast
The parade will be commanded by Group Captain Anne-Marie Houghton, a Sentry navigator from Headquarters Air Command. Group Captain Houghton has the distinction of being the first female navigator in the Royal Air Force after she graduated from training in 1991.
As part of the event, fifty-five Squadron Standards will be paraded including that of 617 Squadron, famous for its role in the ëDambustersí raids which was recently reformed in 2018 to fly the UKís new F-35b Lightning II fighter jets. Her Majesty the Queen will also present a new Queen's Colour to the Royal Air Force at a consecration ceremony. The original Colour was presented in 1951.

NEWS - Geheimakten zum Kennedy-Attentat werden veröffentlicht
October 26, 2017 - FILE - The government is due to release Thursday more than 3,000 files about the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy. The files would be the last to be released by the National Archives under a 1992 law that ordered the government to make all remaining documents pertaining to the assassination public. There has long been a trove of conspiracy theories surrounding Kennedy's death in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963, including doubts about whether assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone, as the Warren Commission determined in its report the following year. Pictured: Oct. 11, 2009 - Arlington County, Virginia, USA - The gravesite of First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy wife of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, in Arlington National Cemetery, in Arlington County, Virginia. The cemetery is directly across the Potomac River and the Lincoln Memorial. U.S. war casualties, and deceased veterans, of the nation's conflicts beginning with the American Civil War, are interred in this cemetery (FOTO: DUKAS/ZUMA)

Top Guns: The Best U.S. Air Force Pictures of 2013
These stunning images show a year in the life of the largest air force in the world.
The United States Air Force has operations all over the world and enlisted photographers are there to capture the action.
The service's specialist Airman magazine has curated the most impactful imagery from 2013 for a special issue entitled 'Year in Visuals'.
As would be expected, the gallery features awesome images of aircraft, but there are also personal military stories including a striking image of Capt. Candice Adams Ismirle preparing for cancer radiation treatment, while Staff Sgt. Ron Blodgett is shown in tears as he embraces his son after returning from a deployment in Southwest Asia.
Managing editor Tech. Sgt. Chris Powell explains: "We pride ourselves on publishing the powerful imagery and videos Air Force photographers and broadcasters produce every day. These professionals travel the world, sometimes putting themselves in harm's way, to bring you the visual story from an Airman's perspective.
"Our goal is to make you feel as close to the story as possible, being right there with Airmen providing security in Afghanistan, a team of Airmen hiking the highest mountains on Earth or showcasing the Air Force's many aircraft conducting operations throughout the world."

The United States Air Force has operations all over the world and enlisted photographers are there to capture the action.
The service's specialist Airman magazine has curated the most impactful imagery from 2013 for a special issue entitled 'Year in Visuals'.
As would be expected, the gallery features awesome images of aircraft, but there are also personal military stories including a striking image of Capt. Candice Adams Ismirle preparing for cancer radiation treatment, while Staff Sgt. Ron Blodgett is shown in tears as he embraces his son after returning from a deployment in Southwest Asia.
Managing editor Tech. Sgt. Chris Powell explains: "We pride ourselves on publishing the powerful imagery and videos Air Force photographers and broadcasters produce every day. These professionals travel the world, sometimes putting themselves in harm's way, to bring you the visual story from an Airman's perspective.
"Our goal is to make you feel as close to the story as possible, being right there with Airmen providing security in Afghanistan, a team of Airmen hiking the highest mountains on Earth or showcasing the Air Force's ...

007 MAKES SURPRISE VISIT TO TROOPS IN CAMP BASTION
Soldiers, sailors and airmen serving at Camp Bastion met 007 star Daniel Craig when he visited the base today (18 Oct). He surprised the 800 troops who were about to watch Skyfall, the latest Bond Film.
After a brief introduction of the film to the enthusiastic audience, Daniel was given a tour of the camp during which he had an opportunity to meet soldiers and see some of the training they do before they deploy to forward operating bases.
Travelling in a Foxhound vehicle, he received a demonstration of its capabilities from Force Master Driver Warrant Officer Class 1 Rob Ingham.
Rob said, "We get quite a lot of visitors here, but having James Bond was special. He seemed to be pretty comfortable in the driving seat!"
Daniel then moved to the Heavy Weapons Range and was given the opportunity to fire some of the machine guns that UK forces use.
Daniel also met staff and patients at the world class Bastion Role 3 Hospital which is acknowledged to be a centre of excellence for trauma medicine.
Private Scott Craggs (23) from Newcastle, a Combat Medical Technician serving with 3 Medical Regiment said, "It was really good morale for everyone - it's a decent thing for him to take time to come out and visit everyone here."
His final stop was a practical demonst...

R.A.F. UNIT AND TWIN ' AUSTERS ' ON SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO ANTARCTIC
An R.A.F.contingent and two specially adapted Auster MK.6 ski-equipped aircraft will be in the joint Norwegian-British-Swedish scientific expedition that will set out for Queen Maud land, an unexplored tract of the Antarctic, next month.
Difficulties of pack ice helped defeat the Shackleton expedition of 1914.
The aircraft may overcome this difficulty by performing reconaissance in the search for a passage by the 700-ton Norwegian sealer which will cover the expedition.
The planes will also be used in the setting up of advance bases on the Antarctic mainland
PICTURE SHOWS:- The R.A.F.unit which will accompany the expedition to the Antarctic, photographed Rearsby aerodrome, Rearsby, Leicester, today.
PICTURE SHOWS:- S/LG.B. Walford of Kensington ,London-, and commanding the R.A.F unit; F/LH.M.H. Tudor of Dorking ,Surrey. The aircraft is a ski-equipped Auster Mk.6.
