Before my shift last night I went to see the tragic scenes at Union Corner in #Glasgow The #FireBrigade have done a brilliant job to contain the #fire So sad to see a beautiful building with so much history since 1851 destroyed. Glaswegians having a lot to say about it as you can imagine πŸ˜€πŸ΄σ §σ ’σ ³σ £σ ΄σ Ώ
