Glasgow and Marseille hope to forge strong links

An "Entente Cordiale" has been signed between Glasgow and Marseille.

The Memorandum of Understanding will lead to "the sharing of ideas and information" between the cities.

They will work together on issues including education, urban and riverside regeneration, business exchanges and the arts.

The official ceremony saw a French and Scottish company forge closer relations.
