A candle will be lit in remembrance of each of the six people who died and those affected by the Glasgow bin lorry crash on its anniversary.
The dedication will form part of a service at Glasgow Cathedral on Tuesday, to be attended by church leaders, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Glasgow's Lord Provost Councillor Sadie Docherty.
Titled, Glasgow Remembers The Queen St Tragedy, it is is being organised by Glasgow Churches Together. The service will begin at noon, about two hours before the crash took place on December 22 last year.
City council driver Harry Clarke collapsed while driving his vehicle in Queen Street. The vehicle mounted the pavement killing pedestrians before crashing into the Millennium Hotel in George Square.
A further 15 people were injured.
The service, which is open to the public, will give people from across the city the chance to come together and reflect on the lives of those who died, those who were injured and those still suffering from the after effects.
Archbishop Philip Tartaglia from the Roman Catholic Church and Scottish Episcopal Bishop of Glasgow and Galloway the Right Rev Dr Gregor Duncan, will lead prayers and reflections at the service.
The families of people affected by the incident have been invited.
Church leaders, representatives of the emergency services, people who helped at the scene including local businesses and local politicians will also be in attendance.
Earlier, this month it emerged that the families of victims Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents Jack Sweeney, 68, and Lorraine Sweeney, 69, are to pursue a private prosecution against Mr Clarke.
A sheriff effectively blamed Clarke for the accident after he lied repeatedly about his ill health, following an earlier collapse while working as a bus driver, in a fatal accident inquiry ruling.
Sheriff John Beckett said that the crash could have been avoided if he had told the truth.
A lawyer for two of the families is expected to apply to the High Court for permissiong to launch a private prosecution, with a legal hearing on its admissibility due early next year.
