BBC News
Leading figures from the arts and politics have attended the funeral of Scots Makar, Edwin Morgan, who died last week aged 90.
First Minister Alex Salmond, novelist James Kelman and playwright Liz Lochhead were present at the service in Glasgow University's Bute Hall.
Glasgow-born Morgan was Professor of English at the university from 1975 until he retired in 1980.
He became the Scotland's first national poet - or Scots Makar - in 2004.
