Hundreds of spectators lined the streets of Glasgow for the annual Glasgow Taxi Outing Fund trip to Troon.
This years event saw 120 taxi drivers give up a days pay to take children who require additional support for learning on a trip to the beach.
Parents and carers joined the kids as they set off from Kelvin Way in the west end.
Drivers decorated their taxis and donned fancy dress, much to the delight of children and members of the public.
Jim Buchanan, Glasgow Taxi Outing Fund Chair, said: "The day is going great despite the weather.
"It won't dampen our spirits.
"We've got around 120 drivers this year and we'll be taking around 270 kids."
Former Celtic and Scotland star Tom Boyd – ambassador for the Celtic FC Foundation, and Lord Provost Eva Bolander joined the festivities ahead of the taxi troupe setting off.
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.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
