Footage shows walkout at Jimmy Calderwood funeral as son slams
The legendary football manager was laid to rest at a service in Glasgow yesterday.

Footage captured the moment Jimmy Calderwood's son stood up and walked out of his dad's funeral service as a family row boiled over.

A video clip shows Scott standing to his feet at Craigton Crematorium in Cardonald as the minister delivered a eulogy to the ex-Aberdeen and Dunfermline manager.

Scott is seen standing up and excusing himself before thanking the minister and leaving.

As he walked away other members of his family followed but the scenes were met with scathing disapproval by other mourners at the service.

Howls of "disgrace" and "ridiculous" could be heard as the grieving family left the building while as security guards looked on.

One man could be heard swearing at Scott as others began crying before the minister is herd trying to restore order.

The clip ends as she pleads: "Please, lets have a moment of quiet as we remember Jimmy."

Family and friends joined Jimmy's old colleagues across Scottish football for the church service at Shiedhall and Drumoyne United Free Church of Scotland yesterday, Tuesday, February 18.

However, Jimmy's son, Scott, became frustrated at the "disregard" for his family and later led a walkout during the crematorium proceedings.

Speaking to the Record, ex-Ross County assistant manager Scott explained his frustrations stemmed from a family row with Jimmy's partner Yvonne Buchanan that had been "brewing for years."

He said his mum was not at the funeral and described how he felt like his family had been "whitewashed" out of his dad's life during the service.

Scott, 46, said: "I know for a fact my dad wouldn't have wanted that so it was just complete disregard for his wishes.

"I had enough and just couldn't stand there and listen to that so I decided to walk out and some of my family joined me.
