A minute's silence has been held on Princes Street in Edinburgh after the death of a medical student who was crushed by a tour bus when her bike got caught in tram tracks.

Zhi Min Soh fell from her bike after its wheel became stuck in a tramline last week.

The 23-year-old medical student died in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after she was struck by the Rabbie's bus.

On Wednesday morning, cyclists observed a minute's silence at the area where she died outside the House of Frazer.

Dozens gathered on the road at 8.30am, with a piper playing a lament following the silence.

A vigil was also held in her memory as campaigners sought to highlight cycling safety.

David Gardiner, of cycling group Spokes, said the vigil grew "organically" after news of Ms Soh's death.

He said: "We were so sad because it's so unnecessary really. Everyone in the cycling community knew that this was a danger.

"Even though we're aware of the tracks when you have heavy traffic density in the city people don't have any room for manoeuvre. We're very sad for Zhi Min Soh, her family and friends."

Spokes has called for better provision of cycling areas on Edinburgh's streets.

On Monday, it was announced that the student's body would be flown home to her native Malaysia.

Colleagues at Edinburgh University described her as a "bright star of the future."

Ms Soh's family are believed to have flown to Scotland following the accident.
