Travellers in traditional caravans were seen arriving in Cumbria ahead of one of Europe's largest horse fairs.
People were seen sat in the bow-top caravans being led by horses along a road in Appleby, Cumbria, ahead of Appleby Horse Fair which begins on Thursday.
In one photo, a man in a grey vest and jeans can be seen leading two decorated white horses pulling the caravan behind them.
And in another, two horses can be seen towing a caravan while two people sit in the caravan at the reins.
The event is expected to see 30,000 visitors over the next week with 10,000 of them from the gypsy, Roma and traveller community.
