Edinburgh rock duo The Proclaimers performed in Leith on Saturday - with thousands of fans descending to the Links.

Performing again in the Big Top on Sunday, Leith is in for a treat with residents saying they could hear the show from their houses on Saturday night (June 17).

The Big Top can hold around 6,000 people but for those who didn't manage to get a ticket to Saturday's show, they made sure they didn't miss out on the fun.

In a video posted by Leith Community Council on social media, Leith Links was still full of fans sitting outside the tent, while the Proclaimers played.

Singing along to Sunshine on Leith, you can hear the thousands of people inside the tent, accompanied by the fans sitting in the park, singing along, dancing, and enjoying the show.

The Edinburgh rock duo played their classics as fans praised the crowd for being respectable and 'happy' with 'no bother'.

Despite the thousands of people who attended, the Links was quickly cleaned up as Leith gets ready for another show on Sunday.
