All the preparation is over and the ships are here. James Watt Dock hasn't been so busy for many, many years. The sun has come out and tens of thousands of visitors came along to join in the carnival.
To all intents and purposes, the event looks to be a great success, although the ground could have been better prepared in many parts of the site.
I managed to make an early break from work at 6pm and took myself along to join in the event.
