Thousands of visitors from all over Northern Ireland and beyond joined local people to enjoy a day of cultural celebrations.
The Royal Landing has expanded significantly in recent years into a vibrant, family-friendly festival that aims to showcase history, heritage and community spirit. The event is centred around the commemoration and re-enactment of the landing of King William III in 1690.
These photos by Pacemaker Press show some of the colour and spectacle of the day's events.
