Hundreds of visitors enjoyed the steam rally at Murton Park, near York, which also included a Wild West show.

Vintage steam trains puffed their way along the Derwent Valley Light Railway, while cowboys battled it out in a makeshift wild west fort.

Event spokesman Peter Merrett said: "The event has proved very popular so far. Everyone seems to be going home with a smile on their face."

The rally and Wild West show continues today from 11am to 12.30pm and 1.30pm to 4.30pm.
