Shetland has once again celebrated its annual fire festival – the largest of its kind in Europe.
Up Helly Aa has been held for over 140 years in Lerwick to celebrate Shetland’s Norse heritage.
Women and girls made history last year when they joined the main “squad” at the head of the procession for the first time.
Heading up proceedings with his 60-strong squad was Calum Grains as Guizer Jarl.
He said the opportunity to do so was “once in a lifetime”.
“It’s something I’ll probably never, ever forget,” he added.
