A Second World War explosive hidden on a Scottish beach since rehearsals for the D-Day landings has been blown up.
A Navy bomb disposal team detonated the shell on a beach in Nairn, Moray last week.
Bomb disposal experts from HMNB Clyde were sent north to safely dispatch the decades-old shell.
The coastguard team said it dated from D-Day landing practice runs which took place around the Moray coast.
