A record-breaking 88,000 people attended the Bray Air Display yesterday and, judging by the photos and the video, it was quite a sight.

The event - which is Ireland's biggest free air show - was launched in 2005 and, since then, has gone from strength to strength.

30 aircraft from all around Europe took part in the display with pilots such as 'The Flying Dentist' Eddie Goggins and 'The Flying Farmer' Gerry Humphrey's delighting the crowd with their acrobatic displays.

As well as aerial acrobatics, they were also displays from the Irish Defence Forces, the RNLI and the RAF, with parachute jumps and rescue simulations being the main highlights.

A minutes silence was observed during the event for the victims of the Ukrainian plane crash.
