Protesters took to the streets of Dumfries at the weekend to show their support for the people of war-torn Ukraine.
The rally attracted an estimated crowd of 150 and raised more than £650.
It was organised by D&G Queerier with backing from various groups and a spokeswoman posted praise on a Facebook page to all those who took part saying: “Thanks everyone who came to make a placard beforehand, to the poets, activists and speakers, and everyone who made it possible and showed just how kind and supportive and caring people are in Dumfries.”
