VEHICLES of yesteryear - and of all shapes and sizes - took to the roads of Fermanagh over the course of the weekend.
The Erne Vintage Car Club held a series of events to enthrall car enthusiasts.
On Friday, huge crowds gathered in Enniskillen - despite the wet weather - for a charity parade involving vintage and classic cars, tractors and bicycles - backed up by musical entertainment including marching bands and on-street singing.
Among the participants at the wheel of a vintage tractor was popular radio presenter, Hugo Duncan.
This year's parade was in memory of keen vintage car enthusiast - the late Raymond McCartney - who was a key player in the organisation of the annual event.
On Saturday, the annual run set off from the Killyhevlin Hotel before taking in villages and towns across the county. The pristine collection of vehicles added to the atmosphere at the ongoing Kesh Carnival.
On Sunday, the group went on a short run to nearby Ely Lodge before retiring for lunch at the Lough Erne Golf Resort.
