Fans of the Flying Scotsman caught a glimpse of the iconic train as it travelled through Lancaster to mark a special 100th anniversary.
The world's most famous steam train first entered service on February 24 1923.
The Flying Scotsman passed through Lancaster railway station on Friday evening and also stopped at Carnforth, en route from Edinburgh to Bury.
The world-renowned locomotive is owned by the National Railway Museum and operated and maintained by Bury-based Riley & Son Ltd, which has carried out a £4m restoration project to restore it to its former glory.
The beloved engine was in Edinburgh on Friday morning for celebrations to mark its 100 years in service.
The train will spend the rest of 2023 travelling across the country to allow as many people as possible to see it.
Fans of the Flying Scotsman captured it on camera as it hurtled through Lancaster station on Friday night.
