An Aberdeen hotel is hosting a service in memory of its former worker who died following an incident.
Anthony McGladrigan was found injured at a property in Greeness, near Cuminestown, in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
The 51-year-old was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary by ambulance, but died later in the day.

In an online statement, the hotel said: “We’re having an informal gathering here at Sandman Aberdeen to raise a toast to the life of Anthony McGladrigan.
“An open invitation to all who remember Anthony and wish to raise a glass to this wonderful man.”
