A youth centre has marked its 50th anniversary with a successful extravaganza.
The Islanders Youth and Community Centre on Weare Road, Portland, has been a hard-fought-for community asset - with residents working hard to raise vital funds to keep the centre running.
The centre and its users celebrated half a century with a day of fun and entertainment.

Islanders chairwoman Sue Beacock said: "It was brilliant. We thought we would be up against it because it was cloudy all morning but at two o'clock the sun came out and people arrived. It was busy all afternoon."
The centre has been a fixture on Portland since 1974 providing a safe and enjoyable space for children to spend their time.
Nowadays it is the only space of its kind available to residents of Underhill but was at risk of closure last year due to an urgent need for repairs.

On the day the event raised almost £1,300, which will be used to help repair the roof of the centre's sports hall.
The free big birthday bash was held on Saturday, July 13. It saw plenty of entertainment, local sellers, food and refreshments, live music from Mark Loxley and Louise Scarlett Crawford, a raffle, a disco, as well as a penalty shootout.
Representatives from Castletown D-Day Centre also attended with a jeep and interactive props.
Sue added: "I'm so very proud of our hard-working team of volunteers. Any event takes a huge amount of planning and preparation that cannot be underestimated.
"They put on a fantastic day for local adults and children, keeping the 'Islanders Club spirit' alive even after 50 years and raising important funds for the charity."

Sue said she would also like to thank Agincare and the Hayloft, two local businesses that have been supporting the centre.
The ribbon to the extravaganza was cut by the founder and chair of Agincare, Derek Luckhurst. Agincare has recently supported the renovation of the centre through the donation of building materials and free specialist labour.
Agincare chief executive Raina Summerson said: “As one of the largest employers in the area, it was a joy to support a project as vital as the Islanders Youth & Community Centre, and we are grateful to our suppliers for their contribution too.
“We look forward to working with the remarkable team of volunteers at Islanders to support their fantastic work for many years to come.”
