One of Scotland's top lawyers will lead the probe into the George Square bin lorry crash which claimed six lives.
Solicitor General Lesley Thomson, will present the Crown's case at the hearing into the tragedy just days before Christmas.
Prosecutors announced a fatal accident inquiry (FAI) was ordered into the tragedy after the Crown examined the full police report and found no criminality.
A Crown Office spokesman said: "The Crown Office can confirm that the solicitor general, Lesley Thomson QC will be conducting the Fatal Accident Inquiry into the road traffic incident which resulted in the deaths of six people in Glasgow City Centre on December 22, 2014."
Teacher Stephenie Tait, 29, from Glasgow, student Erin McQuade, 18, and her grandparents Lorraine, 69, and Jack Sweeney, 68, from Dumbarton, were all killed in the crash.
Tax worker Jacqueline Morton, 51, from Glasgow, and 52-year-old Gillian Ewing, from Edinburgh, also died.
A date has been set for the inquiry, which will be held at Glasgow Sheriff Court on July 22 - exactly seven months on from the tragedy.
The Crown Office confirmed that neither the driver Harry Clarke nor Glasgow City Council will face prosecution.
The 58-year-old is understood to have fallen unconscious at the wheel.
