Indy rally in George Square

INDEPENDENCE supporters have held a rally almost three years on from Scotland’s referendum.

Police Scotland estimated around 1500 people attended yesterday’s event in Glasgow’s George Square, the scene of a number of rallies on the eve of the 2014 vote.

It was organised by Hope Over Fear who campaign for a “radical independent Scotland”.

The event featured music and speeches from campaigners including Tommy Sheridan.

Hope Over Fear said it will hold an event around September 18 every year “until Scotland achieves its independence”.

A police spokeswoman said the rally passed off peacefully.
