It was a captivating sight as eyes eyes turned skyward for the first ever night time drone show over the River Foyle.

The show was a partnership production with BT and saw a mesmerising giant skull of lights hover in the night air out over the Foyle.

This then turned to a dove before morphing several times more, with the spelling out of ‘Derry’ and ‘Halloween’ up in lights across the night sky getting the biggest cheers.
