THOUSANDS of people are expected to join an Orange Order march in Glasgow to commemorate VE Day.
The County Grand Lodge of Glasgow is listed as the organiser of the VE Day 80th Anniversary event on Saturday, May 17.
The march starts near the Royal Infirmary and goes through the city centre, before heading across the River Clyde to end at Kinning Park.
Around 2500 people are expected to take part, with more following alongside.
VE (Victory in Europe) Day is celebrated on May 8 each year, and events in around Glasgow will take place on the weekend of May 10/11.
The Orange Order march takes place a week later.
The lodge members from across Glasgow and Orange bands will assemble at Wishart Street, near Glasgow Cathedral.
From there the route will go down High Street and along George Street before turning into Montrose and round into Cochrane street heading for George Square.
It will carry on heading west along St Vincent Street and down Renfield Street and crossing the River Clyde before turning west again towards Paisley Road and Paisley Road West.
It will turn off the main road and into Harvie Street in Kinning Park and along Brand Street before it comes to an end in Lorne Street.
