Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond and British Prime Minister David Cameron are hitting the Scottish campaign trail ahead of Thursday's independence vote.

Mr Salmond is joining business leaders to argue that a "Yes" vote would help to grow Scotland's economy.

Mr Cameron is in Scotland this afternoon, to give a speech arguing there are strong "head and heart" reasons to vote "No".

Meanwhile Britain's Queen Elizabeth has made a dramatic and unusual intervention in the debate.

Celebrities have been having their say too - footballer David Beckham has backed the "No" campaign, urging a vote to renew the UK's "historic bond".

The ex-England captain urged voters in Scotland not to ditch a union that he said was the "envy of the entire world".

But English designer Vivienne Westwood has declared her support for Scottish independence.
Author JK Rowling received a torrent of abuse for making a major donation to the no campaign, while actor Sean Connery has long made it clear he supports independence.
Meanwhile around a thousand demonstrators held a protest outside the BBC's Scottish headquarters in Glasgow yesterday -
