A Tardis, Jack Sparrow and Buzz Lightyear were the order of the day at Sheppey's first sci-fi festival.

It was held yesterday at Barton's Point Coastal Park with HG Wells’ Time Machine and a giant Martian Tripod among the attractions.

Also there was Kitt, the computer-controlled car from the TV series Knight Rider.

Visitors to the festival also donned fancy dress to transform themselves to characters such as Toy Story's Buzz Lightyear.

Youngsters were treated to model train rides and stalls were also put on.
