Perth Day celebrates 800 years of the Fair City
Crowds filled the streets for Perth's 800th anniversary celebrations, grabbing every vantage point for a glimpse of the historic occasion.
The Earl of Wessex was the guest of honour for Perth Day, when more than 1000 people from the armed forces and youth organisations provided an unforgettable spectacle.
Among the impressive sights were The Black Watch, back to their spiritual home to honour its big day, and the Royal Marines of 45 Commando at Arbroath.
Veterans joined cadets for the parade, and of course The Courier was there to capture the occasion.
This gallery of work by photographer Kim Cessford contains more than 40 images, and is our own tribute to Perth and the armed forces.
