More than 300 people gathered in Glasgow city centre on Monday night to "celebrate" the death of Baroness Thatcher.

The event was organised on social media sites, which were flooded on Monday afternoon following Mrs Thatcher's death from a stroke in London, and saw members of various organisations descend on Glasgow to hold the impromptu "party".
