The RAF's Red Arrows display team flew over Carrickfergus today to mark Armed Forces Day.

It's an annual event to celebrate the service of personnel in the armed forces past and present.

This year's regional flagship event was hosted by Mid & East Antrim council.

Armed Forces Day was marked in Carrickfergus by a series of displays on the ground, at sea and in the air.

A parachute team thrilled the crowds with precision landings after trailing white smoke on their descent.
