A pipe band from Northern Ireland has been crowned world champions.

Field Marshal Montgomery Pipe Band won the title four times in a row between 2011 and 2014, but Shotts & Dykehead Caledonia triumphed last year.

There were more than eight hundred pipers and drummers from two hundred and thirty-five bands for the competition in Glasgow.

This year, competitors came from as far away as the US, Australia and South Africa.
