Thirty years ago next month, a man armed with two 9mm Browning semi-automatic pistols and two .357 Magnum revolvers parked his car at the primary school in the Scottish town of Dunblane.
He entered the gymnasium and opened fire, murdering 16 children, aged between five and six and in their first year of school, and a teacher, Gwen Mayor, before killing himself.
