Hymns where sung proudly, the scripture where poignant and a great night was had by all as you can see from these pictures of the Harmony afterward.

Also on display that evening was the Partick Drum, Burgh of Partick Lord Provost's Chain and a Police truncheon from 1908 which was kindly leant to us by the People's Palace in Glasgow, which we thank them every deeply for this opportunity.
