Oktoberfest has finally come to an end.
The south German festival of excess has attracted in record numbers of tourists and sights you'll find very hard to un-see.
During this year's festivities more than 6 million visitors drank 7.5 million litres of beer, ate a herd of 124 rotisserie oxen and one ex-US president in Lederhosen. It's been a bumper year for Munich's biggest event.
Festival organisers say good fall weather helped attract 100,000 more people to the annual event than last year; in all, 6.3 million from about 70 countries. That's despite this year's Oktoberfest, which spanned from the 22nd September to 7th October, being two days shorter than in 2017.
