GLASGOW will fall silent exactly a year after the Clutha disaster, the Evening Times can today reveal.
Police have asked members of the public to join them, as they silently remember the 10 people killed in the tragedy, on Saturday night.
Officers on patrol this weekend are expected to observe the minutes' silence, and it is hoped revellers in the city's pubs and clubs will join them.
Senior cops have previously spoken of the impact of losing three members of the "police family" on November 29, 2013.
Pilot David Traill, PC Tony Collins, and WPC Kirsty Nelis died when the helicopter crashed into the roof of the Clutha bar.
A minutes' silence will be held at 10.22pm on Saturday - the exact moment contact with the helicopter was lost that night.
Scottish Police Federation bosses hope the public will mark the silence, .
A statement read: "This Saturday evening, please join us as we remember the Clutha victims with a one minute silence at 10. 22pm."
