More than 1,000 people fell silent to remember victims of the Glasgow bin lorry crash at a vigil near the scene today.
Many of those in the crowd held lit candles as they reflected on the six people who were killed and 10 injured when the lorry lost control in Queen Street and George Square on Monday.
The vigil took place in Glasgow's Royal Exchange Square, adjoining Queen Street, where hundreds of bouquets of flowers and candles have been placed in memory of the victims.
Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents (68-year-old Jack and 69-year-old Lorraine Sweeney) from Dumbarton died in the accident.
Primary school teacher Stephenie Tait, 29, and tax worker Jacqueline Morton, 51, both from Glasgow, and Gillian Ewing, 52, from Edinburgh, were also killed when the council truck mounted the pavement before crashing into the side of the Millennium Hotel in George Square.
Four people, including two teenage girls, are still being treated in hospital following the accident and are all in stable condition.
A 14-year old girl, an 18-year-old and a woman aged 64 - are all being cared for at Glasgow Royal Infirmary, while a 57-year-old man thought to be the driver is being treated in the Western Infirmary.
Police estimated that between 1,000 and 1,500 people were at the vigil.
The victims of the crash were remembered at Christmas services across the city, with candles lit and prayers said for all those affected by the tragedy.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon intends to personally thank those who dealt with the incident in the coming days and weeks.
A Scottish government spokesman said: "The First Minister extends her sincere condolences to the families and friends of those who died in George Square. She also wishes a speedy recovery to those who are still being treated in hospital.
"Our immediate priority is to allow health professionals to continue to care for people who were injured, and to give those who lost loved ones the time and space to grieve.
“The First Minister is extremely grateful to the health workers and first responders who dealt so admirably with this difficult tragedy. She intends to thank them personally over the coming days and weeks."
