Among the spectators were Lochgilphead man Robbie Mactavish and his son Cairn, eight.
Robbie said: “The day was cold and bright. Cairn and myself headed out when we heard the pipes practising, we always make the effort to go either to George Square in Glasgow or down the front to pay our respects as both my grandfathers served and luckily both came back.
“My papa Jock Mactavish was a tank driver at the age of 19 and was awarded the Military Medal from Field Marshall Montgomery his actions.
“So for that and the countless others that never had a choice we pay respect.”
