STUDENTS from Budmouth Technology College were dressed to impress for their school prom.
Limousines, fire engines and Harleys pulled up at the college as Year 11 pupils turned up in style.
Other methods of transport included a double-decker bus, a horse and carriage and a Humvee.
Families and friends turned out in force to see the pupils arriving in their suits and ball gowns before they headed up the red carpet for their night out.
Head of Year 11 Max Lively said: "I have seen so many differences as these students have been growing up from when they were in Year 7 to Year 11.
"All of them are beautiful but tonight they are absolutely stunning. It makes me so very proud to be part of this year group."
Meanwhile in Bridport, youngsters from the Sir John Colfox were also in the party mood at their annual prom.
