Hundreds of people parade through the streets of Lerwick, on Scotland’s Shetland Islands as part of the annual Up Helly Aa festivities.
The fire festival celebrates the influence of the Scandinavian Vikings in the Shetland Islands and culminates with up to 1,000 ‘guizers’ (men in costume) throwing flaming torches into their Viking longboat and setting it alight.
