The burning of a 70-foot carved wooden tower called Temple has taken place in Londonderry.
More than 15,000 people attended the event on Saturday night as the artwork was set alight in the Waterside area.
The project was the work of US artist David Best, and his aim was to offer an alternative perspective on bonfires.
He said the temple had given the people of Derry a neutral, cross-community space where they "celebrated and reflected on their losses together".

More than 60,000 people visited the structure in the week before it was set alight, leaving hundreds of personal messages of love and loss inside the temple.
