Former classmates and teachers will gather at Glasgow Caledonian University later to remember the 24-year-old nurse, who went missing in the early hours of April 12th.

Ralph Riegel, Southern Correspondent with the Irish Independent, says Karen was in Scotland to train as an occupational therapist.

He says today's ceremony is "very private... primarily for the staff, professors and Karen's former classmates".

Ms Buckley also will be remembered at a memorial mass in Analeentha, Co Cork on Friday.
