In pictures: Vintage country comes to modern Ballymena Town cavalcade

AFTER their highly successful ‘Santa Run’ last year, the Traction Engine Club of Ulster (TECU) were back on the streets of Ballymena on Friday night, bringing an end to the opening day of the Steam Rally with their Vintage Country comes to Ballymena Town parade.

The Cavalcade was led by World War Two vehicles, as the TECU commemorated the role of farming leading up to the D Day landings.

There was also the rare sight of Steam Engines on the streets; the Engines progressing as far as Wakehurst Road, remaining on display before re-joining the rest of the cavalcade on the way back to the Rally site at Ballee Playing Fields.

After leaving the Rally site the roadrunners went along Ballee Road West; Antrim Road; Wakehurst; Larne Road; Queen Street; Harryville Bridge; Mill Street; Wellington Street; Church Street; Bridge Street; Harryville Bridge; Queen Street, Antrim Road and back to the Ballee Playing Fields
