A parade to mark Armed Forces Day took place in Alloa on Friday.

Veterans, cadets and scouts from the area, led by Dollar Academy Pipes and Drums, made their way through the town centre.

It kicked off in Drysdale Street at 10.15am and went to the Town Hall, where people were invited to gather for a flag raising ceremony.

Local organisations including The Royal Regiment of Scotland, Wee County Veterans, Blind Veterans UK, SSAFA, Highland Reserve Forces and Cadets Association, Armed Forces Charity, and Clackmannanshire District Scouts held displays and stalls in the car park behind the hall.
