The Princess Royal and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence took time outside Glasgow City Chambers to speak to the crowds who had gathered to see them in George Square.
The pair also looked through the various tributes which had been left outside in memory of Queen Elizabeth II, who died last week.
Here are 10 pictures from the visit.
