Tonight represents six years to the day since the eyes of the world fell on Glasgow at the opening ceremony of the 2014 Commonwealth Games at Celtic Park - and we sure showed them how we love a party!
The event was an incredible success, bringing 700,000 thousand visitors to Glasgow and cementing its status as a city fit to stage high-profile events.
So much so that back in 2019, it was chosen by Visit Scotland as the greatest moment for Scottish tourism in the last half-century, and one that "marked a momentous time for Scotland as we showed the world that we can host the biggest events on the planet".
And aside from introducing the world, thanks to Hazel Irvine, to the term 'Taps Aff', and creating a carnival atmosphere that swept through the city streets, the Games gave us the absolute joy that was the opening ceremony at Celtic Park.
Featuring 45000 athletes from 71 nations taking part, the highlights from the ceremony were endless. From John Barrowman in his purple tartan suit and his brilliant gay kiss moment, the huge kilt, a Nessie appearance, Rod Stewart, Susan Boyle, bagpipers, dancers, the lot.
As well as, of course, the dancing Tunnocks teacakes, the Duke of Wellington statue and its lit-up cone and the appearance of the Scottish terriers representing all the competing nations.
It was a real spectacle, featuring plenty of Glasgow humour bursting out, and even now, six years on, it is an event that will still no doubt be fondly remembered by plenty of Glaswegians.
