Thousands of people have been enjoying day two of Balmoral Show 2024.

Showgoers took in the annual sights of sheep shearing, show jumping and stock judging – to name but a few – at the Eikon Exhibition Centre near Lisburn.

The Bolddog Lings Motorcycle Display Team took to the main arena at noon.

Afterwards, the horse parade took place in the main arena, with a dressage display in the P&O Ferries arena.

Here are some great images from today’s show to enjoy!
