Parents and children celebrated half-term weekend on Barry Island with a roar as families rushed down to the promenade to catch a glimpse of a dinosaur show.

The pre-historic beasts were a hit with the locals who snapped lots of photos and videos of the event.

The dinosaurs were led around the promenade by expert handlers and many children had the opportunity to even take a selfie with a T-Rex.
