Trade union representatives, community activists and an MSP were among the crowd that gathered outside the council chambers in City Square less than two weeks after the city council became the first in Scotland to declare a "cost-of-living emergency".

Speakers at the event included Green MSP Maggie Chapman, Unite reps Stuart Fairweather and Sarah Browne and anti-austerity campaigner Michael Taylor.
