Over 40,000 people descended on Bray seafront in Co Wicklow for the annual Bray Air Display.
Fifteen aerial acts, featuring 35 aircraft took to the skies as part of the 18th instalment of the event.
This included daredevil wing walkers, precision aerobatics, coast guard demonstrations, a next generation Aer Lingus Airbus A321XLR and an aerial performance from the Irish Air Corps.
Each act flew against the maritime backdrop of the LÉ Samuel Beckett, courtesy of the Defence Force's Naval Service.
The air display began around 3pm on Bray's Victorian Promenade.
The showcase has brought roughly €3.5 million to the local economy.
The free event is the largest of its kind in Ireland and a highlight of the seaside town’s Summer in Bray 2025 festivities.
In addition, the event featured a seafront funfair, food and craft village, and a static display educating visitors on a career with the Defence Forces.
