Pierce Brosnan has thanked the people of Belfast as filming finishes on his latest film.
The former James Bond actor was in Northern Ireland for six weeks filming The Last Rifleman, and was spotted out and about everywhere from Belfast to Holywood and beyond.
In a post on Instagram, the 69-year-old shared photos on set in France finishing filming at the Bayeux Cathedral in Normandy. The photos show him dressed in character as 92-year-old veteran Artie Crawford.

The Last Rifleman follows the story of a veteran living in a care home in Northern Ireland who has just lost his wife.
It is inspired by the true story of war veteran Bernard Jordan, who at 89 sneaked out of his care home in East Sussex to board a ferry to France to mark the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings in June 2014.
Pierce Brosnan said: “Final day of filming at the Bayeux Cathedral in Normandy on ‘The Last Rifleman’ Playing Artie Crawford, 2nd Battalion Royal Ulster Rifles , retired, 92 and 3/4 years old. …six glorious weeks in Belfast in the company of great film makers. That’s Emma on the slate. Thank ye one and all Dear Belfast enjoyed every days work.”
In recent weeks, the actor has been spotted enjoying Belfast including stops at The Lyric Theatre, The MAC, and local restaurants such as Deanes Love Fish.
Parts of Northern Ireland had a makeover for the film, too, with Antrim town centre recently being transformed into a French town.
