Fifers flocked to a spectacular celebration to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee hosted by TV presenter and comedian Stephen Mulhern over the weekend.
The event was held in a newly constructed arena located at the former mine site at St Ninian’s near Kelty.
Among the entertainment was motorcycle display teams as well as an array of military and pipe bands.
Thousands attended the celebration, which was organised by local events manager Michael Boyle and the former Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo impresario Brigadier Sir Melville Jameson.
