The smiles say it all!
Hundreds of autistic children had exclusive use of a Silloth funfair - with no queues, big crowds or music.
The event was organised by west Cumbrian charity Bee Unique in conjunction with Fletcher's Funfair.
The charity is the vision of Nadia Shaw and Dave Parsons, of Flimby - parents and carers to two non verbal boys, both diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition with Associated Learning Difficulties.
This was the second year that the funfair offered them exclusive use for two days. The children had lots of fun before gathering for a picnic on the green. They then headed to the town's water park for a splash around.
"The weather was fantastic and everyone had a fabulous day," said Nadia.
"Bee Unique families came out in their droves in the glorious sunshine to make the most of this fun-filled day.
"In the funfair, they experienced all the rides in an autism friendly environment, with no queues or loud music.
"After lunch, parents and carers got to enjoy a chat with one another while their children splashed about in the water park."
Up to 300 children enjoyed all the fun on offer. Fletcher's Funfair support the charity's fundays throughout the year.
"We are so grateful for their support," said Nadia.
An autism parent and Bee Unique Egremont area rep Dominee Huddart said: "It was an absolutely amazing day."
Fellow parent Carly Charlton said: "Fantastic day. Thank you so much BEE UNIQUE and Fletcher's Funfair! Spencer loved every minute!"
