A mother and son who died after getting into difficulty

:00:10.:00:13.

in the sea off Aberdeen have been named by police.

:00:14.:00:15.

Six-year-old Lucas Walker was paddling in the water

:00:16.:00:18.

His mother, Julie Walker, had gone in to save him.

:00:19.:00:28.

Combing the beach for clues to explain how such a tragedy

:00:29.:00:31.

Six-year-old Lucas Walker had been playing in the water when

:00:32.:00:35.

His mother Julie and brother Samuel tried to help

:00:36.:00:39.

him while others witnessed the horrific events.

:00:40.:00:45.

The whole beach was covered in people, police were

:00:46.:00:47.

everywhere. There was something in the water.

:00:48.:00:53.

As flowers were laid, more details have emerged about the

:00:54.:01:00.

heroic actions that tried to save those in difficulty.

:01:01.:01:03.

On and off duty police officers were among those who

:01:04.:01:07.

I would like to pay tribute to Lucas's

:01:08.:01:14.

brother Samuel who very bravely also entered

:01:15.:01:17.

the water in an attempt to rescue his mother and his brother.

:01:18.:01:23.

We are all very thankful Samuel is making steady

Like today, yesterday's weather had been reasonable although the water

This Coast Guard told me it's important people understand the

:01:33.:01:36.

It's easy to be tricked into thinking that it is safer

:01:37.:01:43.

Warm weather especially, if we have had a period of wind that has

:01:44.:01:50.

brought the seas up, it lulls people into a false sense

:01:51.:01:54.

of security but the waves are just as powerful

:01:55.:01:57.

whether it is sunny or dark and grey.

:01:58.:02:02.

This is a tragedy witnessed by many in one of the most

:02:03.:02:05.

The loss of a mother and child will affect

:02:06.:02:08.

those who knew them and those who saw them die.

:02:09.:02:12.

The beach has reopened and people are back on the

:02:13.:02:16.

sands enjoying the last of the summer sunshine, but there is a

:02:17.:02:26.

subdued air around today and a renewed realisation

:02:27.:02:28.

Scottish Olympians in Rio have equalled the country's best ever

:02:29.:02:36.

medal tally from any Games, matching the 13 won

:02:37.:02:39.

Our Olympics reporter Jane Lewis looks back on a fantastic fortnight.

:02:40.:02:54.

They are preparing to come to an end here. The football stadium has been

:02:55.:03:01.

transformed this evening for what I am sure will be a fantastic and

:03:02.:03:06.

intriguing closing ceremony. It marks the end of 15 days of sporting

:03:07.:03:11.

actions. There was some sporting action today and a marvellous

:03:12.:03:16.

display from Calum Hawkins in the men's marathon. He finished in ninth

:03:17.:03:20.

position. That is a stunning run from that young man making his

:03:21.:03:25.

Olympic debut. That is it in terms of the sporting action. It almost

:03:26.:03:29.

all over car park in the closing ceremony and what an Olympics it has

:03:30.:03:35.

been for Team GB. 67 medals we have one, two more than the one in London

:03:36.:03:40.

four years ago. And absolutely remarkable tally and Scottish

:03:41.:03:43.

athletes have also played their part in that tally as well. Scottish

:03:44.:03:46.

athletes winning 13 medals out here in Rio.

:03:47.:04:01.

-- Rio. That is the best Olympics ever as well. As the stadium warms

:04:02.:04:04.

up for tonight 's finale, we will soon be saying goodbye to the

:04:05.:04:05.

Olympics in Rio. The owners of an oil rig which ran

:04:06.:04:06.

aground on the west coast of Lewis have been given permission

:04:07.:04:10.

to refloat the vessel The 17,000 tonne Transocean

:04:11.:04:11.

Winner came ashore near Carloway during a storm almost

:04:12.:04:14.

two weeks ago. The leader of the salvage team said

:04:15.:04:16.

weather conditions look favourable and much of the oil on board
