Armed forces parade in Dundee
Hundreds of people lined the streets of Dundee city centre on July 3 to pay tribute to the commitment and courage of the country's armed forces.
A military parade from St Andrew's Church to City Square was the centrepiece, with around 600 personnel from regular and territorial forces, veterans' associations and cadet forces taking part.
Onlookers of all ages broke into spontaneous applause and cheered loudly as three separate contingents of the parade passed by.
The salute was taken from a podium on Reform Street by Lord Provost John Letford; Brigadier George Lowder, new commanding officer of 51 (Scottish) Brigade, and Victor Herd, president of the Dundee Combined Ex-Services Association.
Campaign medals and veteran badges were presented during a ceremony in City Square in front of a large audience gathered in the sunshine.
