The events will continue for the rest of this week providing a lunch and entertainment for more than 800 of the city’s older people.

Jaqueline McLaren, Lord Provost, said: “It was great to have the pensioners’ lunch back in the City chambers this week.

“With plenty of entertainment for guests as well as a festive lunch and even a visit from Santa himself. It’s a great afternoon out for our senior citizens of Glasgow.”
