If you watched Home and Away in the 1990s, you might recognise some very familiar faces in these pictures.
Back in 1998, the stars of the hit Australian soap left the sunshine of Summer Bay behind and headed to Shropshire to film in Ironbridge.
Among them was Marilyn Chambers, played by Emily Symons, who was a household name to millions of viewers.
For fans, seeing their favourite soap stars turn up in Shropshire must have been quite a sight. After all, these were the people they were used to seeing on their television screens in the fictional world of Summer Bay - and suddenly they were on our doorstep!
The gallery captures some of the stars during their memorable visit, taking us straight back to the days when Home and Away was essential evening viewing and its characters were part of everyday life for soap fans.
More than 25 years on, can you remember the cast coming to Ironbridge? Were you there, did you spot Marilyn or any of the other stars - or perhaps even meet them? We'd love to hear your memories in the comments.

5. Bracing for the British breeze as Summer Bay favourites wrap up against the cold
That chilly English weather certainly called for a bit of Aussie warmth! Home and Away stars Emily Symons (Marilyn), Lynne McGranger (Irene), Tempany Deckert (Selina) and Adam Willits (Steve) huddle together to keep warm. Trading the balmy sunshine of Summer Bay for the crisp Shropshire air, the familiar faces look every inch the cast that had viewers tuning in night after night. It’s quite a line-up - and a lovely reminder of just how familiar these characters were to soap fans at the time.
