Here are a few photos of something special happening in Glasgow "The Day"...
Jet ski exhibition on the river with the Tall Ship, the Glenlee, in the background. Entry to the tall ship is free during the river festival.
Is it a bird, is it a plane? It's the police helicopter doing a quick fly past over the Clyde.
Lots of events on and off the water. Above is some speedboat racing.
Drummers on a dredger. Some of the musical entertainment on the river.
Pirate television station ?
A quick shot of the science centre tower. Really is lovely sight in the sunshine. Entry to the science centre only 4 pounds during the festival!
HMS Blythe. A Royal Navy minesweeper docked up for the festival.

Hope this gave you a wee taste of the fun down at the Clyde today. There are stalls and shows and slides and trampolines and face painting and bands and ....
I have mentioned in this blog in the past how much Glasgow has turned it's back in it's great river. Events like today really make it feel a special place again.
Will be back next year!!
Be happy, be well!!
