Glasgow athlete Kirsty Gilmour waved the saltire for LGBT athletes on behalf of Team Scotland, at the opening ceremony of this year's CommonWealth Games in Birmingham.
Kirsty, from Belshill, North Lanarkshire, is the first openly gay athlete to wave the flag and insists being a standard bearer for LGBT athletes gives her just as much pride.
The 28-year-old top badminton player came out publicly last year despite having opened up to friends and family years ago. She is also eyeing a medal at this years games, after she won both silver and bronze medals at the 2014 Games in Glasgow.
