Hundreds of care experienced people from across the country have travelled to Glasgow to march in a 'Love Rally'.

People who have been through the Scottish care system were participating in the rally to campaign for those growing up in care to be loved.

They marched from Glasgow Green to George Square, carrying placards and banners, and were supported by politicians.

John Swinney spoke at the event.

Glasgow Times:

One of those attending is campaigner Ryan McCuaig, who himself is care experienced.

Ryan spent more than two years being looked after by Glasgow City Council, growing up in Easterhouse.

He is now encouraging the public to attend, supporting the fight for the state to take a more caring approach to those being looked after.

Ryan added: "All of the information tells us there is no love in the care system. We want to see a system based on support and stable relationships.

"We hope to see as many people as possible from across Scotland backing our calls."

The final stretch will see the rally marching on George Square and ending there, with speeches from a number of speakers - including organisers from Who Cares? Scotland.

Last year’s Love Rally was attended by hundreds of people who celebrated by gathering in the city centre. This year it is anticipated that the rally will be equally as busy.
