The UCI World Championships have been boosted by a cheery troop of volunteers in Glasgow.
"I like helping people and meeting new people and new friends.Jay is a keen swimmer and would like there to be a big swimming event at Tollcross Aquatics centre in the city so that he could volunteer for that too."Often when we take a photo people don't walk away - they stay and chat and ask us what else is happening and what else we are doing.
"The job satisfaction I have got from helping them at this event. If there is anything like this coming again - we'll be there."Gerald, 38, from Maryhill, has been handing out maps and taking photos for visitors. She said: "Gerald has been speaking to everyone. It's a great atmosphere and I have certainly become a bit more confident myself approaching strangers and asking them to have fun with us and get their picture taken.""I've been handing out the leaflets and dancing with all the children. And I got my photo taken with the Lord Provost.
