The Royal Marines have received the Freedom of Glasgow during a march through the city centre.
About 100 commandos were joined by veterans, cadets and a military band on the parade from Holland Street to George Square today before Commandant General, Major General Martin Smith, was awarded the city's highest honour by Lord Provost Sadie Docherty.
The freedom ceremony was the idea of councillor Malcolm Cunning, who wanted the council to recognise the history and dedication of the entire Royal Marine Corps.
It is awarded to "persons of distinction or persons who have rendered eminent service to the city".
Comedian Billy Connolly was the last person to receive the honour from Glasgow in 2010.
Major General Smith said: "The Royal Marines are humbled to have the Freedom of the City of Glasgow conferred.
"It is with particular pride that the commandos will parade through the streets of Glasgow on this occasion, marking this historic milestone in the long history of the Corps and its relationship with the city.
"I am honoured to be able to present my officers and marines to the Lord Provost during this, our 350th year, and we couldn't be more proud to exercise this honour in Glasgow, a maritime city with which we have such a strong bond."
Following the freedom of the city ceremony, the Lord Provost and Commandant General took a salute as the Royal Marines marched past.
Royal Marines Reserve Scotland was originally formed as City of Glasgow Centre Royal Marines Force Volunteer Reserve in 1948.
It is the United Kingdom's oldest marines reserve unit alongside that of RMR City of London.
The Lord Provost said: "I am proud and thrilled to be granting Her Majesty's Royal Marines the Freedom of the City.
"Glasgow appreciates its military and these select sea soldiers have a special place in our hearts.
"This is a milestone year for the Royal Marines as they celebrate their 350th birthday and our city's historic links with this legendary amphibious regiment, acknowledged as the first and finest in the world.
"Glasgow is home to the Corps' earliest reserve unit. The granting of the Freedom of the City is the culmination of a memorable year for the Royal Marines and Glasgow."
