In pictures: save The Arches protest takes place in Glasgow

Following the announcement earlier this month that The Arches is to enter administration after the loss of its clubs license (which helped to fund its art and theatre work), a protest has been held in Glasgow against the council's licensing decision. DJs, theatre directors, artists and fans of the multi-arts venue joined forces for the colourful demonstration at the City Chambers to call for The Arches to be saved.
