AN Irish republican group is staging a march in Glasgow to commemorate the Maze Prison hunger strikes.
Cairde na Heireann is organising the parade through streets in the city centre on Sunday to remember prisoners who took part in the protest in 1981.
Around 300 people are expected to take part in the 42nd anniversary march, starting in Wishart Street, near the Necropolis.
The parade will go along John Knox Street onto Duke Street and down High Street before turning into Ingram Street into the Merchant City.
The march will go up Queen Street towards George Square and along St Vincent Place and St Vincent Street, before turning down Renfield Street, Union Street and Jamaica Street to the River.
It will then head along the north bank of the Clyde to Saltmarket before heading back up High Street, and ending in College Street in Merchant City.
The 1981 hunger strikes began in March that year with Bobby Sands, later elected as an MP while on hunger strike, refused food in the ongoing protest when IRA and INLA inmates demanded political prisoner status.
Their demands included the right to wear their own clothes, to not do prison work and associate freely with other prisoners.
It ended in October 1981 after 10 men had died.
