The streets came alive throughout the weekend, and a double fireworks display along the river Foyle brought a clourful climax to the events. The organisers and everyone involved deserve congratulations for staging a wonderful event. But, as is often the case in these things, the real star acts were the people who participated in their tends of thousands.
Photographer George Sweeney was on hand to capture the action for the Derry Journal and to help you all remember the occasion.
