The sisters of Milton man Johnny Connelly have paid tribute one year after his tragic death.
The 28-year-old was first reported as a missing person before his body was recovered from the water at Spiers Wharf last July 22 - and almost one year on police still do not know what happened to him.

Speaking to No1Seems2Care community campaigner Alex O'Kane, the popular North Glasgow man's heartbroken sister Michelle said: "Heart is breaking today.
"How has this happened and been a year?
"I miss my brother so much there are no words for the past year and it's not going to get any easier.
"I've been through an emotional rollercoaster of overwhelming grief, anxiety, sadness, and anger but I know he's watching over us now.
"I feel an emptiness in my chest today. I miss you brother and lots of other folk do too.
"You touched so many people and were always there to cheer people up and help them
"Till we meet again brother."

It is understood that the family will visit Spiers Wharf Canal today to pay tribute to their beloved son.
Johnny's twin sister Norah Anne said: "I miss you. I still feel like you could walk in the front door and say 'hi' but every day that passes the realisation that's never going to happen sinks in.
"I have and always will have great pride when I tell people you're my twin brother."
Johnny, from Cathay Street, was reported missing by his family when he didn’t return home from a day out with his friend in Glasgow City Centre on Monday, July 15. His body was recovered from the water at Speirs Wharf in Glasgow a week later.
He had injuries to his head and body, and much of the investigation so far has focused on a possible altercation that happened in an underpass in the city centre prior to John's death.
Police have made several appeals over the unexplained death but appear to be no further forward in finding out what happened to Johnny.
In a bid to encourage witnesses, police previously said Johnny was in the city with his pal but they had separated when heading home for the night.
Around 10 pm on the day he went missing he was seen walking alone in Buchanan Street past Buchanan Galleries and the bus station then on to Dundasvale Court and into the underpass at Garscube Road leading to Speirs Wharf in the Cowcaddens area around 10.20 pm.
He was wearing a black Adidas hooded top, with white stripes down the sleeves, black jogging trousers, and royal blue coloured Nike trainers.
Anyone with information is asked to call CID officers at Maryhill Police Station via 101, quoting incident number 3452 of 22 July 2019.
