A Glasgow Orange Order branch urged marchers to behave respectfully during today's Orange Walk.
Thousands of marchers have been parading in Orange Order walks through the streets of Glasgow after being warned to behave respectfully.
Almost 4000 marchers from different parts of the city were to converge in the centre for a parade to Glasgow Green this afternoon in the biggest event of the Orange Orders calendar in Scotland.
‌
The marches are part of celebrations for the County Grand Orange Lodge of Glasgow to remember the Battle of the Boyne in 1690.
‌
Later in the day, participants will set off in processions back to their respective areas of the city.
A total of 50 marches are expected to take place today.
A message posted on social media by Glasgow Orange County urged people to behave respectfully on Saturday.
It stated: 'Let us honour the memory of the past with dignity and respect, and ensure our actions reflect the true spirit of our parade both inward and outward through the city.
'I encourage everyone to look after one another, stay safe, and make the day the usual enjoyable event for all.'
