Emergency service workers formed a guard of honour to pay their respects to victims of Friday night's helicopter crash as the remaining bodies were carried from the Clutha pub.
The bodies of four remaining victims could not be recovered from the wrecked Clydeside pub until the police helicopter that crashed through the roof had been removed.
They were taken from the scene in central Glasgow in private ambulances.
The "extensively damaged" Eurocopter craft was lifted out by crane after it had been made safe to remove.
Relatives expressed anger at the time it had taken to recover their love ones.
John McGarrigle, whose father, also John, is thought to be among the dead, said: "What about the dignity for the human beings underneath that police helicopter? If they've got one out, they can get the rest out."Nine people died and 32 were injured when the three-tonne Eurocopter crashed into the Clutha pub late on Friday evening.
The crashed helicopter hangs from the chains of the crane More than 100 people were in the pub listening to a ska band when the helicopter hit.
Scottish Fire and Rescue Service assistant chief officer David Goodhew said: "Crews have been tunnelling underneath the helicopter to try to find further casualties and remove those where necessary.
"The helicopter is sheeted up. It's extensively damaged."
Once the wreckage was removed, crews were immediately put back into the building to complete their search, which was expected to take between 90 minutes and two hours.
Mr Goodhew said: "The building has been totally devastated. It's totally unrecognisable in most parts.
"There's a large amount of debris that's underneath the helicopter and therefore you have to dig in slowly and methodically.
The helicopter fuselage was embedded in the roof of the Clutha "Crews have been working tirelessly. We've been rotating crews, we've used specialist crews, urban search and rescue, every rescue crew.
"They have been committed to the building the whole time, trying to search."
He said: "It's one of the most difficult operations, I think, of this type in the country.
"The helicopter has landed in a building that's fully packed.
"It has been damaged in such a way that it couldn't just be lifted.
"We've had to tunnel underneath the helicopter to try and find casualties but also in order to make the helicopter safe to lift.
David Goodhew of Scottish Fire and Rescue explains the lifting process "It's been in an unsafe, unstable condition throughout.
"Effectively the helicopter has had to be held together with straps."
Among those killed in the crash were pilot David Traill, 51, and police officers Kirsty Nelis, 36, and Tony Collins, 43.
Gary Arthur, 48, from Paisley, and Samuel McGhee, 56, from Glasgow, were among six people who died inside the pub.
Police have not ruled out the possibility that more bodies could be recovered from the building.
Dr Jennifer Armstrong, of NHS Greater Glasgow, said 12 people remain in hospital.
Chains are attached to the craft to begin the lift. "The patients continue to be treated for a range of serious injuries including bone fractures, spinal injuries, lacerations, chest injuries and head injuries," she said.
