Hundreds of people have gathered in Glasgow to show support for the victims of the Grenfell Tower disaster.

Speakers including human rights lawyer Aamer Anwar addressed a crowd of about 200 people on Saturday.

Banners were put up outside Buchanan Galleries on Buchanan Street reading "Justice for Grenfell" and "Glasgow stands with you".

Mr Anwar demanded arrests over the fire saying: "The bereaved families need truth, accountability and justice.

"I demand arrests, a criminal trial before a judge and jury and if those who are convicted are convicted then those responsible should be incarcerated for murder.

"It's not a tragedy, it's a crime. The people in Grenfell died because they were poor."

On Saturday, police said at least 58 people were missing presumed dead following the fire.

Experts believe external cladding fitted to Grenfell Tower during a recent renovation may have helped spread the fire.

Checks are under way on high rises in Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Dundee and housing associations have moved to reassure residents that they are safe.

At least two blazes at multi-stories in Scotland have been linked to external cladding in the last three years and the Scottish Government has set up a ministerial group to review regulations.

Saturday's gathering was organised by Sean Bailey, an organiser from tenants' union Living Rent.

He said: "From being so far away you can still feel the fear, the grief, the sorrow and the anger over what happened and it's the fact that these tenants' issues had been raised time and time again.

"We want to show that the community around Grenfell have support here, even if they're not getting support from the Government, politicians or the council.

"The people across the UK in places like Glasgow will do our bit and stand up in support [for] their calls for justice."

Mr Bailey said he hopes the event will send a message "down to the people affected that we are with them".

He added: "Our job is to amplify the anger and the feelings of residents and families affected. We're not trying to create a political narrative from it, but just to support and back them.

"We have our battles up here as well and housing is only going to get worse across the UK unless we stand together and fight back."

Scottish charities have been overwhelmed with donations for the victims of the Grenfell Tower blaze.

Several organisations which launched drives for donations in the wake of the fire have been so inundated that they have been forced to turn people away.

A shipment containing around 35,000 items is expected to leave Glasgow on Sunday.
