A number of roads in Aberdeen will be closed on Saturday for the annual Armed Forces Day parade.
More than 1,000 serving, veteran and cadet personnel will take part in the parade through the city centre.
Spectators are expected to line the streets to celebrate the British Armed Forces and enjoy the vintage military vehicles on display and entertainment provided by the mass pipes and drums.
The temporary traffic restrictions will be in place into the early afternoon to ensure the day runs safely and smoothly.
The parade is scheduled to begin at Albyn Place at 11am and then will head along Union Street to the Castlegate.
As the parade passes the Town House, Lord Provost of Aberdeen David Cameron, in his role as Lord Lieutenant, will take the salute along with top military personnel.
