The Birkenhead Park Festival of Transport was greeted by a brief spell of sunshine at the weekend.

Themed as Transport through the ages, the event featured Victorian and Edwardian steam traction engines, steam boats, a steam-powered fairground, brass bands, trade stands and vintage buses.

It also featured the Howard Brothers steam gallopers alongside Punch & Judy and donkey rides and laser clay pigeon shooting.
