The parents of three children who were tragically killed in a house fire in Paisley last month have asked the community to wear colourful clothing as their funeral takes place tomorrow.
The three children, Fiona Gibson, 12, Alexander James, 8, and Philip, 5, sadly died after a fire broke out in their home on Pailsey's Renfrew Road.
Their Mum Julie Daley, 39 was seriously injured.

Speaking with the Paisley Daily Express, the children's uncle Ian Gibson have said the family are overwhelmed with support from the community.
He said: "On behalf of my brother Alex and his partner Julie, we would like to thank everyone for their generosity, kindness and support.
"Although we are still hurting as a family, we are overwhelmed with all the messages and donations and appreciate everyone's contribution, especially the support received from Facebook page Kids of Gallowhill and staff at Tesco garage on Renfrew Road.
"Nothing and nobody has gone unnoticed and the family appreciate everyone for pulling together at this time in our need of support. We will try and thank everyone for their support individually if possible once funeral has passed.
"On July 9, Alex and Julie have asked the funeral parlour for cars to pass St Catherine's Primary School.
"Anyone who wishes to pay their respects, we estimate this to happen 12.30pm to 1pm."
Members of the community will line the route tomorrow as the procession will start at Netherhill Road then pass St Catherine's Primary School, where the two boys attended, and finish at the roundabout at the top of Gallowhill Road.
All those who wish to attend are asked to clap softly as the cars pass in a sign of respect to the children and their families.
An online fundraiser for has since raised £28,000 for the family.
Police Scotland confirmed there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the fire.
