Irish folk group the Wolfe Tones posted a heartfelt message to their fans in Derry, after their final gig in the city.
The band performed in Derry's Millenium Forum on Friday and Saturday, drawing in a large crowd for two of the group's final shows. The popular band are set to retire later this year, bringing an end to six decades of performing together.
In a post online for their Derry fans, the band thanked attendees over the years for "the amazing reception", and said the many friends made in Derry would be "forever in our hearts".

The band announced last year that they would leave the stage for good after their final shows in Belfast and Dublin in October.
The group's official website said: "60 legendary years, and with special arena shows confirmed in Dublin and Belfast what a way for The Wolfe Tones to end a glittering career.
"All great things must come to an end but we plan to celebrate The Wolfe Tones' amazing 60-year career with a fitting tribute in 2024, as their fans in Ireland and around the globe bid farewell to arguably the world's most loved balladeers."
The group's current members are Tommy Byrne, Noel Nagle and Brian Warfield.
In a statement, their promoters said: "We will never see their likes again."
Formed in Dublin in 1963, the band are best known for playing Irish rebel songs and have been the source of some controversy in recent years due to some of their lyrics.
