Thousands marched through Glasgow today in support of Scottish independence. The rally was organised by pro-indy group All Under One Banner.
The gathering took place at the same time as King Charles' coronation ceremony, setting off from Kelvingrove Park at 11.30am and finishing at Glasgow Green - with former First Minister, Alex Salmond leading the crowd and encouraging them to shout louder for "the benefit of those in Westminster Abbey".
AUOB claim that 20,000 people flooded the city streets to show their support.

The organisers of the march took to Twitter to share their joy, writing: "The desire for self determination is strong, and we will fight for independence until the fight is won. Well done everyone! #AUOBGlasgow #YES".
Supporters of AUOB showed their support for the rally in the comments, one saying: "We’re back on the move...unstoppable towards our freedom...marches can only get bigger and better...terrific speakers".
Another said: "So proud to have been a part of it".
Marchers were led by a pipe band and Scottish MSPs. Former First Minister candidate, Ash Regan delivered an "inspiring speech" highlighting the importance of unity, integrity, and reconciliation within the independence movement, urging attendees to come together and work towards a brighter future for Scotland.
Regan ended her speech by saying: "We will be the newest oldest country in the world and the world will rejoice, in welcoming us back, to national statehood.
"In the words of our national poet, Robert Burns, "Now's the day, and now's the hour."
"So let this be a turning point in our journey to independence; a new dawn for Scotland, where unity, integrity, and determination guide our path to that brighter future."
