VIDEO: Pipe band plays Scotland the Brave during Indiana Jones filming in Glasgow
The sound of pipes and brass bands – as well as stunt riders on motorcycles – has filled the air in Glasgow city centre as filming begins on what is believed to be the new Indiana Jones movie.
Streets in the city centre have been transformed into late 1960s New York for scenes of a parade which appears to be welcoming the first men on the moon back home.

A Harrison Ford lookalike rode on horseback along past the parade, with the Boyd Holbrook double behind on a vintage motorbike.
Rehearsals had taken place earlier in the week at the Albion Car Park next to Ibrox Stadium in Govan.
Crowds have gathered at fences blocking off streets to catch a glimpse of the action, and many have shared pictures online of the incredible shop front makeovers.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge, star of Fleabag and Solo: A Star Wars Story, was pictured on set on Wednesday at Cochrane Street and is due to play a major role in the film.
Ford, who turned 79 earlier this week, has not yet been seen in Glasgow but has been filming scenes in England in recent weeks.

Filming will move along to the Trongate, Montrose Street, Bothwell Street and Blythswood Street as the month goes on.
Vehicles will not be allowed to move along the M8 Kingston Bridge off-ramp to Bothwell Street from 8pm to 10pm between July 26 and 28.
