The West of Scotland Band Alliance held the parade to mark the killing of 14 civilians by the British Army in Derry, Northern Ireland, during a civil rights march 54 years ago, in 1972.

The parade started at Holland Street at 12:30pm today then turned to Sauchiehall Street and heading onto Blythswood Street, before turning left onto West George Street, down Renfield Street and Union Street, then along Argyle Street, Queen Street, then eastward on Ingram Street, before going down High Street to Glasgow Cross and along Gallowgate and Moir St before ending at Barrowland Park.

Pictures from the procession show participants marching through the city centre, before going to a park in the east end.

Last year 2024/25, there were just five parades organised by Irish republican groups in Glasgow.

It compares to 153 parades across Glasgow from three Loyalist organisations.

The Orange Order held the most with 118 parades, the Apprentice Boys of Derry held 25, and the Black Institute organised 10.
