With the threat of wet weather failing to dampen the spirits around Balmoral Park for the 154th Balmoral Show, day one was another major success.
Taking on the difficult task of judging the Simmentals was Stewart Stronach from the Islavale Simmental herd in Banffshire, UK.
It was another memorable day for Alan Wilson from Rathfriland, Co Down.
