            Two light shows are being held in George Square to mark the experiences of Glaswegians during the First World War.
 
Film, images and audio are being projected onto Glasgow City Chambers during a 27-minute narrative.
 
Simultaneously, the names of every Glaswegian who fell during the conflict are being beamed on to the Cenotaph. 
The Lord Provost said: "This is not a dim and distant history for Glasgow. One hundred years on, we are all connected to the First World War, either through our own family history, the heritage of our local communities or because of its long term impact on society and the world we live in today.
 
"The war changed Glasgow and Glaswegians forever. More than 200,000 men went to war from our city, 18,000 never returned and a further 35,000 were left badly injured or disabled. The war also totally transformed the role of women in society when they stepped into the jobs vacated by men going off to war. 

"We need to ensure that these stories of Glaswegians between 1914 and 1918 are captured and saved for future generations and I hope that the spectacular Glasgow's War installation will inspire people to learn about their own family histories."
