So we're now going through a bit where a day in the life of Glasgow is charted in videos.

The whole idea of the show is that it's a love letter to Glasgow and the Commonwealth Games.

It is early morning, the city wakens. The clock in Glasgow Central station begins to tick. We're see everyday people go about their morning routines. And it concludes with a street sweeper, a cyclist, a jogger and a reveller from the night before meeting under the clock. A Glasgow tradition.

Last place I heard Flower of Scotland was the Miami Stadium.

Didn’t have a beat like that, I’ll tell you. Powerful, stuff.

And what's more Scottish than Nessie?

We've now gone into a bit where actor Sam Heughan of Outlander fame chases a video representation of the Loch Ness Monster around the Hydro before Flower of Scotland strikes up.

I'm starting to feel like I've taken something I shouldn't have...

Good shift, Valtos.

Earned yer corn tonight.

Scotland.

Lots and lots of cheesy grins from folk in kilts.

First Minister John Swinney is on his feet.

Impossible not to feel the ground shake beneath you here. Proper goosebumps.

Big puff of the cheeks from flagbearer Sarah Adlington. Emotional stuff, this.

Who they're all here for.

Led by five-time Commonwealth champion bowler Alex 'Tattie' Marshall and judo champion Sarah Adlington... Team Scotland have arrived.

Wales now, with boxer Rosie Eccles and bowler Daniel Salmon leading the way. It's Eccles' 30th birthday, as it happens. Another one who's had worse days, you'd think.

A good win for Gary in the men's singles today, too.

No a bad day at the office...

Northern Ireland, it's your moment... First up lawn bowler Gary Kelly and para-swimmer Bethany Firth.

I did not expect there to be quite so many from the Isle of Man and Jersey, either...

They’re still going, dearie me.

Many are seated while others are still yet to join, peering from the back.

Huge.

Swimmer Luke Greenbank and bowler Sian Honnor lead out Team England. Plenty of them.

Clearly not the right running order... Cyprus are here.

The European nations are up next. England are first on my running order here so, all being well they're about to appear from a gap in the massive wall behind the stage...

Having a wee look around, and there are not many seats left.

Still got the European nations to come.

Budge up, troops...

Oh, and another routine, right in front of King Charles and crew as they exit.

He was a fan.

I think I'm now a Samoa fan too.
