Paisley Town Hall played a special rendition of the country legend's songs I Will Always Love You and Jolene to the gathered crowd outside.

Children from Dargavel and Williamsburgh early learning and childcare centres attended along with council officers who support the much-loved reading programme.

Renfrewshire Council is the first local authority in Scotland to offer every child aged two to five years old a free, high quality, age-appropriate book each month through the popular scheme.

Books are delivered straight to the homes of all children registered.

More than 150,000 books have been given out to Renfrewshire kids since the inspirational programme began four years ago.
