DEDICATED trainspotters and curious families braved horrendous weather to catch a glimpse of the famous Flying Scotsman on its tour of Hampshire.

The train travelled from Salisbury to Romsey before heading through Nursling and Redbridge, then made its way to Southampton Central Station and Eastleigh.

To relive the special occasion read the Daily Echo's live blog, which can be found by clicking here.

Onlookers were soaked by torrential rain but still thousands turned out to line train tracks across the county.
