To celebrate and highlight the work of the Highland Hospice, the charity asked people to 'wear yellow' today.
Fundraiser Jenna Hayden said: "It's been such a fun day today out and about in Inverness, seeing so many places turn yellow in support of Highland Hospice. From schools to workplaces, so many people made a huge effort to wear yellow clothes and brighten up their surroundings. The city centre was truly buzzing!
"In the hospice itself, our staff and patients wore yellow, with our shops and cafés all getting behind the theme too."
Crown Primary in Inverness were keen to get involved in the vibrant day.
Headteacher Suzanne Dunbar said: "Every month, on a Friday the school put on diversity days – days which the children can wear home clothes and 'come as their best selves'. We try to support as many different charities as we can.
"In terms of all the work the Highland Hospice are doing, it's a charity that helps so many people. Our school has seen this first hand whether that's support given to families or even staff members who have dealt with cancer in the past – it's a great local charity and a close connection for us."
The school's day included a 'colour a sunflower' colouring competition, which the competitors had to pay to enter. The school also asked the youngsters to bring in what they could for wearing yellow.
The children gathered in the assembly hall to listen to the winners of the day's competition, presented of course by hospice mascot Bobby the Bee. The hospice praised the children for their efforts, which raised £210.48 for the charity.
The hospice also extend its gratitude to everyone who helped to make this day a success.
