WATCH: Thousands attend pro-independence All Under One Banner march in the Highland capital including SNP MP Drew Hendry

Thousands of people marched through Inverness yesterday afternoon as part of a pro-independence event.

The All Under One Banner gathering culminated with a rally.

Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey MP Drew Hendry was among the people taking part and addressed the crowd at the end.

Other speakers included representatives from InverYes, Scottish Green Party, Alba Party, the Silent Clansman, XR Highlands and Islands, Sandra Proctor, Salvo and Farmers for Yes.

There was also entertainment from Kenny Jamieson, Andy Docherty, Gordy Strathdee, Andy Marshall and Ross Whitelaw.

Organisers estimated around 3000 people took part in the event, although exact numbers were not available.

The march started at the Fisherman's car park near Bught Park and moved towards Ardross Terrace, Ness Bridge, Culduthel Road and finished in Castle Heather Park.

Organisers expected a lower turnout than in previous years due to post-pandemic fears of big gatherings and the ongoing train strikes.

The next march is in Falkirk on September 10.
