A host of stars turned out today for the Oscar Knox Memorial Cup at Fort William Golf Club in north Belfast.

The golf tournament is held in memory of five year old Oscar the County Antrim boy whose long battle against an aggressive form of cancer captured the hearts of many people in Northern Ireland.

Little Oscar died in 2014 after a two-and-a-half year battle with neuroblastoma.
