View image on click of image/filename

I followed a couple of tutorial about batch image upload using laravel but they all talk about displaying images as thumbnails which it is not what i want to achieve. this is part of the controller

class Jan2017Controller extends Controller {
//index
  public function index() {
    $jan2017 = JAN2017::all();
    return view('pages.jan2017', compact('jan2017'));
  }

//uploading images to DB
public function upload() {
    // getting all of the post data
    //$file = array('image' => Request::file('image'));
    $file = Input::file('images');

    //counting all selected images
    $file_count = count($file);
    $uploadcount = 0;

    // setting up rules
    foreach($file as $file) {
      $rules = array('form' => 'required'); //mimes:jpeg,bmp,png and for max size max:10000

      // doing the validation, passing post data, rules and the messages
      $validator = Validator::make(array ('form'=>$file), $rules);


      if ($validator->passes())
      {
        $destinationPath = 'uploads';
        $filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
        $upload_success = $file->move($destinationPath, $filename);
        $uploadcount ++;

        $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $entry = new JAN2017;
        $entry->format = $file->getClientMimeType();
        $entry->filename = $filename;
        $entry->save();
      }
    }

    if($uploadcount == $file_count)
    {
      Session::flash('message', 'Uploaded successfully');
      return Redirect::to('jan2017');
    }
    else {
      return Redirect::to('jan2017')->withInput()->withErrors($validator);
    }
  }

I have a table that display image names stored in db and now i want a corresponding image to pop up/show when a user clicks on its filename.

//rendering tabular view

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')

    <p>{!!$errors->first('images')!!}</p>
    @if(Session::has('error'))
    <p>{!! Session::get('error') !!}</p>
      @endif
