Thousands lined the River Liffey in Dublin yesterday to witness more than 40 aircraft flying as low as 250 metres over the city. 

Planes included a rare World War II B17 Bomber and the massive double-decker A380 owned by British Airways. 

The event was organised by the Irish Aviation Authority as part of the Gathering.

See below for some incredible pictures taken at the event.
