Glasgow has honoured the fallen this Remembrance Sunday in a "very different" way. 

Official events were curtailed due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic but wreaths were still laid across the city. 

Lord Provost of Glasgow, Philip Braat, laid a wreath at Glasgow's Cenotaph. 

He said it was vital to commemorate "all who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedoms" even during a pandemic.

In a post on social media, he added: "I laid a wreath at the Nurses’ Lamp, observed 2 minutes’ silence and laid a wreath at the Cenotaph on behalf of the city."

Guidance from the Scottish Government advised the public to commemorate the day from home. 

But a crowd still gathered in George Square this morning. 

East End councillor Russell Robertson shared images from George Square and called it a "very moving moment". 

He added: "We will never forget, never."

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said:  "We've issued messaging over the last few days to tell people that the annual Remembrance event would not be taking place due to the covid restrictions currently in place to help keep everyone safe.

"This included sharing the Scottish Government advice for people to mark the occasion at 11am on their own doorsteps.

"The Lord Provost of Glasgow laid a wreath at the Cenotaph this morning on behalf of our citizens and recorded a poignant message for the special service at Glasgow Cathedral."

The chief officer of the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service, Martin Blunden, also laid a wreath in George Square. 

He wrote on social media:  "An honour to lay a wreath at the Cenotaph in Glasgow this morning on behalf of @fire_scot - we remember those who left & never returned & those that returned & are never the same."

The Glasgow Humane Society also paid respect to the "glorious fallen" with a poppy wreath in the Glasgow Green.
