Thousands of teddy bears and other stuffed toys were thrown on to the pitch during a match in Istanbul between Beşiktaş and Antalyaspor, as a donation to children who survived Türkiye’s earthquake.

The event was organised by Beşiktaş fans as part of relief efforts and the Turkish Super Lig game was paused after four minutes and 17 seconds, the earthquake first struck Turkey at 04:17 local time, to allow fans to throw the gifts on to the pitch.

Visit Kayaköy on any other day of the year and you’ll find a sleepy village, watched over by abandoned crumbling buildings, a reminder of a life gone by.

The eerie air of stillness that hangs over the deserted village was replaced by the sounds of music, dance, laughter and fun on Saturday when residents and local businesses held the Kayaköy Festival (Şenliği).

Hundreds of people flocked to enjoy the atmosphere and a packed day of entertainment.

What a really lovely day…

Later, walking back along a road lined with lifeless houses, the wind rustling through the shrubbery in the sightless windows could almost have been a sigh of longing for days gone by…
