Foster carers looking after Falkirk's children came together for the first time in more than two years at a special event to thank them for their work.
The gathering, held to mark Foster Care Fortnight, was a chance for Falkirk Council to say thank you to its foster carers who "don't just gone the extra mile - they go extra hundreds of miles".
More than half of the councils' foster carers turned up to the event at Falkirk Stadium where they enjoyed tea, cake - and a chance to finally meet in person.
