The 10 most stunning pictures taken by the Irish Defence Forces in 2013

The lads and ladies of the Irish Defence Forces - protecting our land, skies and seas; flying the flag on missions abroad - and pretty handy with a camera, by the looks of things.
Óglaigh na hÉireann have been good enough to release a selection of what they consider their best images of 2013 - taken during training exercises on land, sea and air; during ceremonies and commemorations and also during missions overseas.
We've had a look through and picked out best 10 - and some of them are really something special.
Have a look at our selection below and check out the rest on Flickr.
