There was great excitement in the crowd when the parachutists from the Air Corps Black Knights Parachute Display Team landed on the beach.
Briagdier General Rory O'Connor, the General Officer in Command, Irish Air Corps said the day was a great opportunity to show what the Irish Defence Forces is all about.A recruitment stand representing all the classes of the forces showcased some of what Óglaigh na hÉireann do.
The lineup included vintage aircraft with the historic Lancaster, Spitfire and Hurricane planes flying in formation during the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, the Aer Lingus Airbus A320neo provided something more modern.
The LÉ James Joyce is anchored off the coast to provide support while the Defence Forces has an interactive display on show allowing members of the public to see what the Reserve Defence forces do.
