Where is the Apple Mac Delete Key

The Apple keyboard has the backspace key in the upper right hand corner of the keyboard, but where is the Delete key?

Often its possible to backspace and delete the preceding characters.

For example with the cursor at the start of a word it is more natural to delete from that point forward as opposed to positioning the cursor at the end of the word and deleting backwards.

Viewing the keyboard of a MacBook Pro there are no additional key characters, as often shown in blue for actions paired with another key.

Viewing the keyboard I considered the pairing of the backspace key with one of these keys is most likely: fn, ctrl, alt, cmd.

To delete forwards on a MacBook keyboard air the <fn> key with the backspace: <fn> + backspace.
