Watch as Scotland’s former first minister Alex Salmond speaks at a North Macedonia conference just hours before his death.

Mr Salmond, who for decades championed Scotland’s independence from the UK and nearly accomplished it, gave a speech on Friday (11 October).

During the speech, he said that one of the great successes of the Scottish referendum campaign for independence was that it involved no violence.

Mr Salmond died suddenly on Saturday (12 October).

Tributes have poured in from across the political spectrum, led by King Charles and Queen Camilla.
