A memorial will be unveiled on Monday to the 19 people killed fighting a whisky factory fire in Glasgow 50 years ago.
The plaque will commemorate the Cheapside Street disaster, in which 14 members of Glasgow Fire Service and five men from Glasgow Salvage Corps died.
Glasgow's Lord Provost Bob Winter will unveil the granite plaque on the Clyde walkway, opposite Cheapside Street, in the Anderston district of the city.
The disaster, on March 28, 1960, saw the biggest loss of life in peacetime ever in the UK fire service. Extinguishing the blaze took five days.
The warehouse contained over a million gallons of whisky and rum.
Veterans of the fire service, who fought the blaze - some 450 were involved at its height - will also attend the ceremony, along with Strathclyde Fire and Rescue chief Brian Sweeney.
He said: "On March 28, 1960, there was a smell of smoke from a whisky bond. The fire brigade attended, found some difficulties locating the fire, although there was a lot of smoke coming from the building.
"Then suddenly, without warning, the walls blew out, both in Cheapside Street and the adjoining Warroch Street.
"It had a huge impact. If we look back at the records and funerals, there was a cortege several miles long, tens of thousands of Glasgow citizens paid their respects. Fifty years on, they are still fresh in the memories of many."
Schoolchildren from the nearby St Patrick's and Anderston primary schools worked with a community arts company to design a stone mosaic to mark the disaster.
A ceremony was held on March 28 this year, starting at Glasgow's Necropolis, where the disaster's victims are buried. It moved on to Glasgow Cathedral, where their funerals were held, and then to George Square, where the memorial produced by the schoolchildren was unveiled.
