LISTEN: Nicola Sturgeon says bin lorry crash anniversary is a "sombre moment"
Exactly one year on from the tragic bin lorry crash in George Square, a memorial service is being held in Glasgow Cathedral today.
The service is open to the public and the victims' families and local and national politicians including First Minister Nicola Sturgeon are expected to attend.
She spoke to our reporter Shiona McCallum ahead of the event.
Seven candles will be lit during the service to remember the six people who died and another for all the others affected by the crash.
The names of all the victims will be read out during the service followed by a two minute silence.
Chair of Glasgow Churches Together, Father David Wallace said: "Glasgow Churches Together basically brings together the churches in the city and its not uncommon for us to reach to things which happen in the city.
"We had a memorial service last year for those who were affected by the Clutha disaster so there is precedent for organising such an event.
"There is a sense that people are looking forward to coming together and remembering and drawing some comfort and consolation from that togetherness.
"Everyone can come along so we will expect to have a large crowd although it's impossible gauge how big. So many people were involved on the scene on that day. Local businesses and shopkeepers - people coming to the assistance of those hurt and affected on the 22nd of December last year."
18-year-old Erin McQuade and her grandparents Lorraine and Jack Sweeney, 68 and 69, from West Dunbartonshire Council were killed when the lorry mounted the pavement.
Stephenie Tait, 29, Jacqueline Morton, 51, and Gillian Ewing, 52, also sadly died when the lorry with 58-year-old Harry Clarke behind the wheel careered on Queen Street before crashing into the Millenium hotel on George Square.
Glasgow City Council has confirmed the Christmas attractions in George Square will be restricted on the day of the anniversary.
Bookings for the ice rink will not be taken between 2pm and 3pm, while rides will be shut down between 2.15pm and 2.45pm, covering the time when the crash occurred.
Refuse collection vehicles will also be kept out of the square and the immediate vicinity, and limited as much as possible in the city centre.
Those who wish to leave floral tributes or pay their respects are urged to do so at the Gallery of Modern Art in Royal Exchange Square.
