Organisers told the more than 100,000 people attended the show, travelling from across the UK and beyond.
On the multiple stages dotted around the expo, fans formed long queues to hear from over 700 panellists who were speaking.
The venue’s two halls were filled with displays, stalls and gameplay areas, with more than 450 exhibitors booking places to demonstrate products or sell merchandise.
But none of those numbers can capture the energy, passion and excitement of comics and games enthusiasts at the event, on what many told the was the greatest day of the year.
“My favourite part is meeting other people who are cosplaying,” said Catherine Mariah as she travelled to the event on Saturday morning.
“By the end of the day you’ll be sad it’s all over – you’ll have the ‘con blues’!”
