In pictures: Tartan Army in London

Kilt-wearing Scotland fans hang out in London's Trafalgar Square ahead of the national team's international football friendly against England at Wembley.

Thousands of Scots have descended on the English capital ready for the 20:00 kick-off involving international football's oldest enemies.

The game, part of the Football Association's 150th anniversary celebrations, is the 111th meeting between the two nations.

One fan - with his kilt and lion rampant tattoo - marked out who he would be supporting in the England v Scotland game - the first on-pitch meeting since 1999.

Sitting on one of Trafalgar Square's four lion statues - which "guard" Nelson's Column - is a fan draped in the Royal Standard of Scotland flag.

The Tartan Army have been taking plenty of liquid refreshment in the rising heat of London in August.

The colours of the saltire were in clear evidence, with this supporter sporting a blue and white striped face.

Double take - fans mingle with a life-sized cardboard cut-out of former Scotland manager, Ally MacLeod, who took the team to the 1978 World Cup.

Fans cooled off in the fountain of Trafalgar Square by playing their own version of water polo.

Flying the flag for Scotland - A fan has high hopes for his team ahead of the big game.
