Hundreds of people are expected to attend the funeral of a deaf mother who was found dead in the River Clyde a week after she went missing.
The body of Kirsty Aitchison, 30, was recovered from the Glasgow river by firefighters almost two weeks ago.
The discovery was made close to an area police divers had swept as officers searched for the mother of four, who went missing during a night out in Campus bar in Sauchiehall Street.
The death is not being treated as suspicious.
Ms Aitchison's family have asked mourners to wear bright clothing to the funeral and urged those unable to attend to light a candle or release a balloon.
A fundraising drive set up in the wake of the death to support Ms Aitchison's family has now reached more than £15,000.
A message posted on the JustGiving page said: ''We have lost a beautiful lady - Kirsty Aitchison.

''Kirsty was a fantastic mum to her four children, they were her world. She always had something positive and funny to say about her children. They will be truly devastated.
''Our heart breaks for her family and most importantly her four children. They've lost a daughter, sister, cousin, mum, a best friend and someone they could have fun with.
''Kirsty's death is a great shock, it was unexpected. She always had a smile on her face and she will be solely (sic) missed by everyone. She was young so no provision had been made for a funeral at this time in her life. Any contributions will help greatly.
''Kirsty should have a beautiful funeral service to celebrate her life and provide comfort to her family and friends, and also Deaf / BSL communities. We really appreciate any donation whether it big or small.
''All contributions will be spent on the funeral service and supporting Kirsty's children future.''
