HUNDREDS of campaigners took to the streets yesterday to fight for independence.
The rally, named All Under One Banner, saw members of RISE, the Socialist Worker party, the Solidarity party and grassroots campaigners walk from Glasgow's West End.
Setting off at 11am, they ,marched from Kelvingrove Park to Glasgow Green in the East End where a range of speakers addressed the crowd.
A police presence could be seen in the area near the march, however a Police Spokeswoman later confirmed there had been no reports of any incidents taking place during the event.
Campaigners also browsed stalls set up at the city greenspace listened to music during the afternoon.
Drummers and pipers kicked off the walk and hundreds could be seen carrying satires and pro-independence flags through the city, as well as a banner which read " End London Rule".
Speeches were given by members of various political groups including RISE and the Scottish Unemployed Workers Network.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
