It was named for Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887.

The flowerbeds were saved from budget cuts last year, when plans to grass over 28 floral beds in the park after summer in 2018 but a campaign was launched to save them.

This time last year parts of Scotland were still coated in snow.

But after a frosty start to the morning, Glasgow was glowing in sunlight.

A Met Office spokesman said: "It was a cold start to the day this morning.

"Braemar was as low as -6.8C last night and at 5.09am Glasgow was fairly chilly at -1.2C.

"But it's turned into a sunny day but the Highlands remain cloudy.

"We are up to 11C in Kinlochewe [Wester Ross], and Largs is about the same.

"The rest of the day is going to be fine with so much sunshine around.

"It is worth putting layers of clothing on if you are going to the beach or out walking.

"Tonight might not be as cold compared to last night as we expect -2C or -3C."

"But tomorrow we expect some more cloud around so we should have more sunny spells rather than sunshine."
