Thousands of people turned out on Monday night for Derry's famous Halloween spectacular.
The parade and festivities were welcomed back to the city after disruption in the last two years caused by the pandemic.
Derry is famed for the biggest Halloween celebrations in Europe and this year was no different, with the Awakening the Walled City event spread across four nights.

The culmination of the celebrations saw the city's iconic Halloween Carnival Parade back in all its spooky glory.
Dancers, performers, schoolkids, community groups and other artists all fed into this year's theme of reawakening the river gods.
Thousands of costumed spectators watched as the parade made its way through the city centre and fireworks were set off from two locations.
The walls of the Guild Hall also came to life as images were projected onto them throughout the four days.
With minions, ghosts and ghouls, zombies, vampires, Derry Girls (of course) all taking part, Derry welcomed the full celebrations in spooky style.
Even the rain did not deter revellers from standing out for the parade and fireworks, umbrellas simply the order of the day.
It may traditionally be the night of the undead, but Derry was well and truly alive for the celebrations it does like no other.
