THOUSANDS took to the streets of Glasgow on Saturday afternoon for the annual Mardi Gla celebrations.
Scottish Greens co-leader Patrick Harvie (below) was among those to enjoy the celebrations.
Organisers have revealed that it was the city's largest-ever pride event.
It is believed that around 50,000 people marched from Glasgow Green to George Square although organisers had only expected half this figure as 21,000 attended last year's event.
One of the groups to take part in the march was Out for Independence who posted an image on their social media with the caption: “Thanks to everyone who came and marched with us today – happy pride.”

Scottish Green MSP Ross Greer also attended the march and posted an image on his social media with Harvie.
SNP MSP Kaukab Stewart (below) was also at the event with singer-songwriter Horse McDonald.
Writing on social media, she said: "Glasgow looking amazing for #Pride2023 thanks to @MardiGla and great to meet the awesome @horsemusic."
MP Stewart McDonald also shared his support for the event on social media, writing: "Pride comes to Glasgow today and I want to wish everyone who will be marching, organising and celebrating my very best."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
