He's a YouTube and social media star, and has brought trainspotting to the masses - and now he's been spotted on holiday on the Isle of Wight.

Francis Bourgeois unsurprisingly visited the first day of the Island Steam Show while he was here.

He also paid two visits to Plaza Ices traditional ice cream van, once at Compton Beach and once at the steam show.

Gary, of Plaza  Ices, said: "Great to serve Francis Bourgeois an ice cream at Compton whilst he was holidaying on the Isle of Wight earlier this week. He came back for another ice cream at The Island Steam Fair.

"I didn’t publish his photo earlier in the week as respected he was on holiday but he said he was happy for me to post today.

"Any train enthusiasts might want to follow his page."

Francis also enjoyed a meal at Smoking Jack's in Wroxall.

The star has 2.1 million followers on Instagram, where he describes himself as a railway enthusiast and engineering enthusiast.

He is known generally as the "train guy" and enlists stars to film with him.
