A tribute to the victims of the Manchester bombing has appeared on a Glasgow landmark.

The names of the 22 people who died are displayed on the city's Squinty Bridge'' along with signs that readwith Manchester'' and respect life''.

The tribute, made out of plastic letters tied to the bridge's railings, appeared on the Clyde Arc on Tuesday night.

It is not known who organised the display but it was welcomed by local people across social media.

Two years ago hundreds of crosses with the names of soldiers killed in action were tied to the bridge.

Scottish schoolgirl Eilidh MacLeod from Barra was among those who died in the terrorist attack and her name is displayed in the centre of the bridge.

She had travelled to the Ariana Grande concert with her friend Laura MacIntyre who is said to be making remarkable progress'' after being seriously injured in the bombing.

A vigil was held in Glasgow last Tuesday where it was said that Manchester has a great deal in common'' with Scotland's biggest city.

Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken said: ''All we can do is send out love, our sympathy and our condolences and say that we stand in solidarity.''
