Tributes have been paid to a Glasgow ballet star found dead in his home aged 14.
Jack Burns, dubbed as 'Scotland's Billy Elliot', will be laid to rest tomorrow following his tragic death at the start of the month.
The teenager - a pupil at St Columba's in Kilmacolm - appeared on several TV shows including Outlander and Plain Sight.
He also earned a spot at the prestigious Glasgow-based UK Theatre School Performing Arts Academy and the Elite Academy of Dance in Greenock.
Police say the death of the youngster, at his home on Greenock's Esplanade on December 1, is not being treated as suspicious.

"Last week, we emailed all of our current students’ parents and guardians with the terribly sad news about the passing of one of our exceptionally talented young students, Jack Burns and so many of you have got in touch to pass on your deepest sympathies and to enquire about the details of the funeral as well as asking if it is possible for you and/or your child to attend.
"Jack’s parents are very grateful for all your thoughts and prayers and have asked us to get in touch with you all regarding the funeral details.
"Jack’s family have said that anyone who would like to attend his funeral is more than welcome.
"They have also mentioned that children and young people from Jack’s ballet schools will be wearing their youth group hoodies as a tribute to Jack and the groups that he loved to attend.
"Jack’s family have asked that if your child is attending, then it would be lovely to do similar and wear their UKTS hoodies in Jack’s honour."
