Crowds gathered on Buchanan Street steps this afternoon with banners and Pride flags to remember the "pint-sized ball of fun" Lyra McKee.
As her funeral took place in Belfast, friends and former colleagues gave moving tributes in Glasgow to the 29-year-old journalist known for her strong will and big heart.
McKee died after being shot by the New IRA in Londonderry last Thursday.
She had worked for publications including The Belfast Telegraph and BuzzFeed News and wrote regularly about her experience of being a young gay woman in Northern Ireland.

Standing together, journalists and members of the public heard more about the life of the writer who was described as someone who "found everything exciting" and who was full of "energy and empathy".
Friends John Loughton and Shaun Alexander paid tribute to her, as well as journalists from The Ferret Karin Goodwin and Peter Geoghegan, and John Toner from NUJ.
Mr Loughton said: "It feels almost too soon to be saying goodbye, I feel like I am still processing the news of what happened last Friday.
"What caught me by surprise is how quickly we all felt, in a certain way, that we knew Lyra, even if you didn't know her personally.
"This is because if you cared about inequality, you stand with Lyra. If you've ever cared about marginalized groups, based on your gender, your identity, who you love, how you're viewed, who you choose to pray to, or the issues you face because of the part of the street you were born on - you stand with Lyra.

"She was a pint-sized ball of fun and energy, and empathy, and geekiness. She found everything exciting.
"There was one thing she cared about more than anything. Finding justice through truth, and that's what her journalistic DNA was all about. I bonded with Lyra in many ways because our voices were not suppose to be heard.
"We were the ones written off because we were gay, because we struggled with our up bringing. But if there's anything I want to take away from this is that Lyra, pal, that bullet has taken your body but it hasn't taken what you embodied. You deserved to be heard, we stand with Lyra."

At her funeral in Belfast, priest Fr Magill asked Northern Ireland's politicians why it took the death of a 29-year-old woman to unite their parties
Catholic priest Fr Magill said: "I dare to hope that Lyra's murder on Holy Thursday night can be the doorway to a new beginning. I detect a deep desire for this."
Fr Magill added: "To those who had any part in her murder, I encourage you to reflect on Lyra McKee, journalist and writer, as a powerful example of 'The pen is mightier than the sword'.
"I plead with you to take the road of non-violence to achieve your political ends."
