Thousands of people are taking part in a pro-independence march through Edinburgh today.

The procession will start at Holyrood Palace, before making its way down to the Meadows.

Organisers All Under One Banner predict up to 250,000 to take part.

However, at the event last year, police estimated around 20,000 participants.

Our reporter Bryan Rutherford was there to see it happen.

A number of high-profile independence supporters, including SNP MP Joanna Cherry, Janey Godley and Hardeep Singh Kohli are speaking at the event.
