A beloved Glasgow bakery has confirmed 'rumours' they are closing.
two.eight.seven in Govanhill told their customers that November 24 would be their last day in operation after deciding not to renew their lease at the end of this month.
Owners Sam and Anna Luntley, who started the business at number 287 Langside Road four years ago, have said it is 'time for a change' and they 'know when to stop'.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, they told their followers that running two.eight.seven has been a 'total pleasure' and they only intended to last 18 months but kept going due to its popularity.
The bakery is known for its range of cakes, fresh bread and regular supper clubs hosted by the pair.
A statement read: "Time for change and for us to confirm the rumours that we will be closing two.eight.seven when our lease ends at the end of November.
"We had been resisting posting on Instagram about closing as it was important to us to tell as many of our regular customers as we could in person, but we realise that the time has come to confirm the facts and hush the ever-spinning rumour mill."
