Thousands of people attended a massive fireworks display in the north-east to help raise funds to battle cancer on Saturday.
The annual Fireworks Against Cancer event, now in its fourth year, took over Turriff’s showground at the weekend when hundreds of explosions lit up the night sky.
And despite the poor weather, more than 4,000 people packed into The Haughs to help raise vital cash for an Aberdeen cancer charity.
The event is the brainchild of Cuminestown man John Burdon who launched the first fireworks in 2014 after he beat bladder cancer.
Since then, he has hosted the event every year to fundraise for the Urological Cancer Charity (Ucan) which helps families affected by cancer in the north-east.
The event had previously been held in New Deer but moved to Turriff after display’s popularity grew.
Concerns had been raised about safety access to the New Deer showground with only one access track between it and the main road.
Last night, he thanked everyone for attending.
“Major thanks from ourselves and Ucan for all your donations,” he added.
“The count will be done early this week with the totals raised published shortly.”
Including the fireworks, the action-packed night in Turriff included fire juggling from Aberdeen University’s circus group, live music and fairground attractions.
Since the displays began, Mr Burdon has helped raise more than £10,000 for the cancer charity.
All of the money raised goes directly to the group, with the cost of the event itself covered through sponsorship and commercial fees.
The cash raised has included helping the charity purchase a robotic surgery machine for Aberdeen Royal Infirmary – the first of its kind in Scotland.
