Kelly Mathieson was walking through the city centre on Sunday, October 6 when she spotted a 'heroic' Glaswegian climbing the Duke of Wellington statue.
A professional actress - currently starring in Phantom of the Opera in London's West End - was lucky enough to witness an iconic Glasgow phenomenon when she was back visiting her home city recently.
The good samaritan had clearly seen that the statue was missing its signature feature - the traffic cone - and immediately jumped to do his civic duty and prevent any more people from having to see the shocking sight of the Duke's naked head.READ MORE: Lorraine Kelly shares meal with mum in 'lovely time' at Lanarkshire restaurant
Glaswegians take special pride in seeing the cone on Sir Arthur's bronze head, and to see the statue without one is almost considered to be taboo. So it's not surprising that Kelly's clip of the "hero" replacing the cone quickly went viral on TikTok. One follower, Mandy, pointed out: "It's Glasgow's equivalent of the changing of the guard! What a sight to behold!"
Other people said that they were jealous, with one complaining that they'd never seen the almost-mythical event even though they'd lived in Glasgow all of their life.
