The hit convention returned to the Victorian Scarborough Spa, with characters from Star Wars, Dr Who, and Ghostbusters - and many more - congregating on the seafront.

Guests included Mike Fielding, who played Naboo in The Mighty Boosh, Julie Dawn Cole, who was Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Dean Andrews, star of Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes.

Attendees naturally drew plenty of attention from passers-by - here are the best photos from the event.
