Raised funds will go to Children's Association Scotland and Ronald McDonald House. 

Members of Scotland's Ahmadiyya Muslim community and local politicians have taken part in a walk for peace at Kelvingrove Park in memory of murdered shopkeeper Asad Shah.

The 5km walk will raise funds for Children's Association Scotland and Ronald McDonald House.

Popular Shawlands shopkeeper Mr Shah died in March after being murdered by 32-year-old taxi driver Tanveer Ahmed.

Ahmed will be in court for sentencing next month.

From an earlier post:

Mr Shah's relatives said a person's religion, ethnicity or race never mattered to the shopkeeper, who treated everyone with kindness and respect.
The family said after his killing: "One of our brightest lights has been extinguished but our love for all mankind and hope for a better world in which we can all live in peace and harmony, as so emphatically embodied by Asad, will endure and prevail."

"He was a brilliant man, recognising that the differences between people are vastly outweighed by our similarities."

"Asad left us a tremendous gift and we must continue to honour that gift by loving and taking care of one another.”

His death sparked an outpouring of grief from customers and friends who left tributes and flowers to the 'light of Shawlands'.

Locals remembered him as a kind man who would give out Easter eggs and Christmas cards to customers.
