A Glasgow campaign group gathered to celebrate a milestone birthday for a historic city building.
Friends of People's Palace Winter Gardens and Glasgow Green marked the 125th birthday of the People's Palace, which was opened on January 22, 1898.
The East End museum was described as a centre of culture by the Earl of Rosebery, who officially opened it and declared that it would be 'open to the people forever and ever.'
Celebrations were in full swing as members of the group enjoyed live music, poetry, '125' biscuits and a birthday cake which was cut by group member Bruce Downie dressed for the occasion as Lord Rosebery.

Among the guests at Sunday's event were Glasgow Times columnists, Labour MSP Paul Sweeney and councillor George Redmond.
A spokesperson for Glasgow Life, which is responsible for the venue, said: “For the last 125 years, the People’s Palace has been a place for Glaswegians and visitors to explore and enjoy.
“Originally part of an attempt to shape social reform, the People’s Palace has become a leading social history museum which offers a unique insight into how Glaswegians lived, worked and played in years gone by.”
