Crowds braved the wintry conditions and made the way to the Castle to be enthralled by the dazzling spectacle which celebrated all things Scarborough.
Part of the Scarborough Lights season by Scarborough Fair, the display was produced by leading drone display company Flight Shows.
Visitors to the show were taken on “a journey in drones” around Scarborough with Thomasin Farrer and local schoolchildren as the town approaches its 400th anniversary as the UK’s first seaside resort.
Photographer Richard Ponter went along to capture the event on camera – check out his images below.
