Shoppers could have been forgiven for thinking they had come to the shopping centre and walked straight on to a film set after they were met with the sight of characters from all kinds of films, TV shows, animated cartoons and comics having a wander round the shops.
Thousands of visitors converged on the shopping centre to attend the film and comic con event being held in Braehead Arena last weekend.
A highlight of the annual event at Braehead is the fans who come along dressed in the costumes of their favourite sci-fi characters.
They also flocked to scores of stalls set up in the Arena to snap up movie memorabilia and sought-after rare comics.
Braehead centre director, Peter Beagley, said: “We always look forward to the Film and Comic Con event coming to Braehead.
“And with lots of fans dressed in amazing costumes, it makes for a fantastic spectacle.
“There’s always something going on at Braehead to make your visit just that little bit special.”
