Thousands travelled to Coleraine as the town celebrated Armed Forces Day on Saturday.

It was first time the town hosted AFD, which attracted a huge number of military personnel, their families, friends and supporters.

The spectacle received a rousing reception from the large crowds which lined the route before a time of reflection during a Drumhead Service at the War Memorial.

After the first gun salute of the day at noon there was a packed afternoon of activities in Christie Park, on the River Bann and throughout the town centre!
