Hundreds attended the lighting of the beacon in Milford Haven on Thursday evening as part of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
People brought everything from their dogs and deckchairs to the Memorial Gardens to listen to Milford Haven Town Band, who performed songs including a James Bond and ABBA medley.
The cadets of the town then embarked on the lantern parade from Mackerel Quay to The Rath, where much of the celebrations took place.
From face painting to an ice cream van, and representatives from the Welsh Ambulance Service and Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service, there was plenty for people to enjoy.
The evening saw an entertainment stage, which featured artists such as an ABBA tribute act from Vision Arts.
