YOUNG football fans got a rare chance to hold football's most famous trophy.
The FA Cup arrived at Dorchester's Avenue Stadium as part of a nationwide tour during the knock-out tournament.
Dorchester Town Youth FC were given the opportunity to pose with the trophy before older fans were let through the gates. More than 50 children arrived at the stadium to get their photo taken with the cup.
General manager of Dorchester Town Youth FC Philip Basford said: "The youngsters were thrilled to pieces. Some said they were never going to wash their hands again."
The trophy was then taken to the Wessex Stadium in Weymouth, where it was joined by the FA Youth Cup. Fans got the chance to have their photos taken with the trophy in the Terras Tavern Bar.
