Hundreds of people packed into Glasgow Cathedral on Sunday afternoon for an ecumenical service remembering the Clutha Vaults helicopter tragedy.
Ten people died and many more were injured when a police helicopter crashed on to the roof of the Clutha pub on November 29 last year.
The service, a vigil for St Andrew's Day organised by Glasgow Churches Together, included prayers led by Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and a reading from Bernard Higgins, Assistant Chief Constable of Police Scotland.
Giving the sermon, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Glasgow, Philip Tartaglia, said: “Out of this tragedy we are called to be better, more compassionate, more understanding human beings.
“And I would hope that we could turn that memory into a legacy, a legacy which would honour the victims of the Clutha Vaults tragedy, so that we can say once and for all that their deaths contributed to Glasgow and Scotland becoming a better place for everyone.”
