Communities across the north-east will gather today to pay tribute to those who have died in conflict.
A number of services will take place across the region to mark Armistice Day.
At Pittodrie Stadium there will be a service at 10.45am, organised by the Aberdeen FC Heritage Trust, which will be attended by Lord Provost George Adam.
Following this, there will be a short ceremony at Trinity Cemetery on Park Road, as part of the Commonwealth War Games Commission’s Living Memory Project, commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme.
Elsewhere in the city, there will be an afternoon service at Gordon and Watson Funeral Directors on Great Northern Road.
Beginning at 1pm, the service will be led by Reverend Markus Auffermann of Woodside Parish Church.
There will be music from pupils at St Machar Academy and refreshments afterwards.
Later this evening, there will be a candlelit service at Macintosh and Steven on Banchory High Street at 6.30pm.
Reverend Allan Murray will lead the service in the remembrance garden.
Both events are open to the public.
In Alford, Legion Scotland branch members will gathering at the war memorial at St Wilfrid’s Church to hold a two minute silence at 11am, to mark the signing of the armistice.
Meanwhile, the city’s Marischal College and the exhibition centre will be lit up red in support of the Poppy Scotland appeal.
Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre will also be transformed into a red beacon till Remembrance Sunday.
They join landmarks across the country, such as Eilean Donan Castle, Inverness Castle and the Kelpies, in supporting the appeal.
Gordon Michie, head of fundraising at the charity, said: “We hope that when people see it lit up red they will think about ways that they too can go the extra mile in their support for this year’s Poppy Appeal.
“Whether it’s putting a little bit more in the poppy tin, or doing something completely different to raise money, every penny helps us to offer life-changing support so we can be there when they call for backup.”
