Speaking ahead of the event, the Lord Provost said: “Glasgow's Armed Forces Day is an opportunity to let the incredibly brave and professional men and women in our armed forces know how much we appreciate them.

"It's also a chance for our citizens to demonstrate their pride in our military personnel and our veterans.

"Inevitably too, our thoughts stray to those far from home, serving in some of the toughest places on earth.

"I’m looking forward to welcoming everyone."
