Crowds descended on Stradbally over the August Bank Holiday weekend to enjoy the 62nd National Steam Rally in the town. For the first time the event was held over three days running from Saturday to Monday, August 1 to 3. The expanded programme featured an unforgettable celebration of steam, vintage vehicles, traditional crafts, family entertainment and live country music. Photographer Michael Scully was there for the Leinster Express/Laois Live. Scroll down to the bottom to see more photos.
