Funeral arrangements have been announced for Glasgow<\/a> “legend” Frankie Robertson<\/a>. The much-loved artist and poet was a well-known character around the Barras Market<\/a> and has been remembered as a “vibrant light in the world”.<\/p>\n Tributes have been paid to the much-loved artist and poet following the news of his death last week.<\/p>\n The community are now coming together to raise money which will go towards giving the 64-year-old the “send off deserving of the friend he was to many”.<\/p>\n Funeral arrangements were announced this week. All are invited to pay their respects to Frankie, meeting at noon on Monday, June 22, at the BAaD, before the procession – escorted by the Barras Bikers – travels “around the wee streets of the Barras”, heading down the Gallowgate to Linn Crematorium. After a one hour service, starting at 1pm, mourners will return to the BAaD to celebrate the life of Frankie.<\/p>\n He was a true free-spirit, the epitome of cool as he strutted around the east end of the city often dressed in tartan, sandals and a red feather boa coat.<\/p>\n Barras ‘legend’ Frankie Robertson <\/p>\n Family and friends encourage those attending to wear something that reminds them of Frankie, “faux fur, a fez hat, a kilt, or maybe a pair of sandals…yellow nail varnish is optional”, they said.<\/p>\n Money leftover from the GoFundMe will go towards a local mental health charity.<\/p>\n Days on from the news, a ‘Frankie Boy’ mural appeared on a wall at the Barras Market carpark. The words are followed by a painting of Frankie wearing his red fez hat, kilt, sandals and iconic boa coat – rather fitting.<\/p>\n Members of the community described the recent mural a “cracking tribute”, and plan to take a trip to the Barras to honour the “true legend”.<\/p>\n Many have said the Barras will “never be the same”.<\/p>\n![\"Barras](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/1_1000036350.jpg\")
