GLASGOW'S kind-hearted residents turned out in droves to donate to a city foodbank.

The impromptu donation point, set up in George Square, received visits from hundreds of passers-by who brought bags of toiletries and groceries.

What was intended to be a peaceful demonstration against Friday night's volatile rally snowballed when organisers Andrew and Darren Carnegie began talking about poverty in the city.

The father and son run Glasgow's Needy, a food bank for those in the north and east of the city, and were overwhelmed when onlookers began bringing bags of food.

They were given so many donations on Saturday they decided to return to the city centre meeting point again today where they received even more.

Carrier bags lined one corner of the square as more and more people flocked to show their support.

Darren said: "It's been absolutely overwhelming and shows the true side of Glasgow; what we're actually all about.

"I'm so honored and humbled to be part of it."

Darren, 25, said the number of donations given would be enough to help "hundreds of people in need" across Glasgow.
