A north-east woman has been given a prestigious honour in recognition of her years of community work.
Harpist and philanthropist Irene Watt has been commended by the Confraternity of the Knights of the Most Holy Trinity in Scotland.
The global Christian organisation is dedicated to charitable service and recognising good deeds by others.
Ms Watt founded the Harps of Gold series of fundraising concerts, which bring together musicians of all abilities in aid of causes including Grampian Child Bereavement Network and Aberdeen Youth Counselling Service.
She has also spearheaded a number of projects to help youngsters in the city’s regeneration areas, most recently using Doric lullabies to help babies sleep.
Ms Watt was presented with an Eagle of Honour award at Trinity Hall, Aberdeen alongside former Royal Marine Paul Barrett, who helped establish charity Horseback UK after stepping on a landmine in Afghanistan.
Award sponsor Mark McCue said: “Both Irene and Paul are deserving recipients of an Eagle of Honour award.
“They both work tirelessly to help other people and are a real inspiration to us all.
“Irene has done so much for children across Aberdeen through music, while Paul has not only battled back from horrific combat injuries, but has also helped many of his peers.
“They should both be incredibly proud of what they have achieved.”
