Hundreds of anti-abortion protestors gathered outside a Glasgow maternity hospital on Sunday evening for the final hour of their 40-day campaign.
Members of 40 Days for life arrived at Queen Elizabeth University Hospital for their last vigil this evening after almost six weeks of protests.
Pictures show protestors lined up across the road from the maternity unit, with many holding what look to be small lanterns.
The group - which is linked to a US Christian organisation of the same name - claims to be non-confrontational, but in the past it has been accused of intimidating women as they head for difficult termination appointments.
In response to the event, pro-choice campaigners arrived earlier at 7am on Sunday morning to put up almost 200 posters, bearing messages such as "bans don't stop abortions - they stop safe abortions" and "my rights, my body, my choice".
The display, which spanned several metres, was organised by LGBTQ+ protest group Cabaret Against The Hate Speech (CATHS).
Between four and six members of 40 Days for Life remained QEUH since 8am on Sunday, with CATHS campaigners staging what they called a "gentle counter-protest".
However, the police arrived following a report of a noise complaint after counter-protesters played music to drown out the activists.
Tweeting about the anti-abortion protest on Sunday, CATHS called on newly-appointed First Minister Humza Yousaf to introduce protest buffer zones around hospitals to help protect patients.
They wrote: "Over 100 anti abortion protesters have turned up outside the QEUH for the last hour of 40 days for life.
"According to Jesus they are hypocrites. Our signs are still there and nearly 200 in number.
"Glasgow has spoken. BUFFER ZONES NOW!"
Yousaf previously said that he is already committed to bringing in buffer zone legislation, introduced to Parliament by Green MSP Gillian MacKay.
In a letter to campaign group Back Off Scotland last month, he said he "unequivocally" supports bringing in the legislation "as quickly as is practicable". The CATHS spokesperson added of the protests: "I hope this is the last time 40 Days For Life will legally be able to do this."
