Dundee was bustling on Saturday evening as Rita Ora arrived for the city’s second Slessor Gardens show of 2018.

Thousands of adoring fans braved torrential rain to watch the Your Song popstar take to the waterfront stage following great sets from supporting acts Hannah Jane Lewis, MNEK and Sigma.

We were there to photograph the amazing night.
