Scottish singer Paolo Nutini paid a visit to a Glasgow restaurant this week, with staff calling the musician a "hero".
Taking to Instagram, owner and chef Julie Lin wrote that she "met not one, but two heroes this afternoon" thanking Paolo as well as photographer, Dylan Lombard, for visiting.
Dylan also raises awareness for disabilities including MDP (mandibular dysphasia with deafness and progeroid features), an extremely rare syndrome of which there are only 13 known cases in the world, which he was diagnosed with at age 10.

The Paisley born singer dined at the Malaysian eatery, located in Glasgow's southside, following the restaurant's appearance on the show "Hairy Bikers Go Local", with Si King and Dave Myers.
And the pair couldn't praise the chef and her food enough. In the episode, Julie treated them to dumplings made using locally sourced mushrooms and one of her specialities, her Singapore Chilli Crab.
Speaking about the episode, Julie said: "I still can’t believe this happened, and I’m still so grateful.
"These are two of the biggest names I’ve worked with to date and they were the most down-to-earth, kind, humble, supportive souls. The whole week was a pleasure."
It wasn't just the Iron Sky singer, Dylan, or the Hair Bikers that were keen to dine there, with one fan Tweeting during the BBC show: "Brilliant programme Julie's Kopitiam. You are a natural in front of the camera and that food, wow, looked amazing."
Another added: "So glad you are getting more recognition for the beautiful food you serve. Bravo."
"Do you deliver... to Cornwall?" joked a keen third.
Like the rest of the city, Paolo loves the Glasgow food scene, with the singer recently having listed his must visit places.
Chatting with Hot Press about his latest record "Last Night in the Bittersweet", writer Jess Murray suggested that they might be heading to Glasgow in the near future.
The conversation came up after they discussed Paolo's love of his team Celtic and how Jess would soon be heading to Parkhead for a game. The delighted Scot then offered his own tips for some of the best places to go for a night out in Glasgow.
