Lord Provost George Grubb is said to have been ill and has been advised to take time off work to rest.

The 75-year-old's condition is not thought to be serious. He is expected to return to work on Monday, meaning he is unlikely to miss the crucial budget-setting meeting in the City Chambers next Thursday.
