The event, organised by the G15 Project, offered a range of exciting activities free of charge.

Not only that but little ones had the opportunity to sit in the driving seat of a fire engine and police car – which was very popular.

Even though it rained on the day it didn't dampen spirits.

Joyce Bell, project coordinator at the G15 Project, said: "We've been celebrating since the start of the year as the community of Drumchapel is now 70 years old.

"We usually run these events every year but we haven't been able to do it since 2019 because of the Covid pandemic.

"It was a great day out and everything was free for all the families as it's hard for everyone right now so people were able to come down and enjoy themselves without having to worry about money.

"It was a brilliant day we were a bit worried about the weather but everyone enjoyed themselves."

There were plenty of outdoor games to take part in (Image: Kevin Harvey)
