Bristol in Pictures: Easter fun across the city

Nearly 26,000 fans packed into Ashton Gate on Friday to see Bristol City beat Sunderland

Why does the weather so often ruin Bank Holiday weekends? A question for another day maybe.

Not that the rain and wind stopped life carrying on in Bristol, with plenty to enjoy indoors such as the Tina Turner musical at the Hippodrome and tasty treats at bakeries in the city.

City kept up their play-off push and the Park Run competitors kept on going too.

Simply the Best: The Tina Turner Musical is on at the Hippodrome until 26 April, telling the story of the multiple Grammy-winning star from her humble Tennessee beginnings to global fame.

Also simply the best: Bristol & West AC runners are celebrating winning the ultimate accolade in British endurance running after becoming National Road Relay Champions, adding that to their National Cross Country Championship earlier this season.

Getting it done: Bristol City cemented their place in the Championship top six by beating 10-man Sunderland 2-1 at Ashton Gate on Good Friday.

Night glow: The lights of the many rides and stalls at Funderworld on The Downs are not just illuminating that part of the city, but the taller rides can be seen from miles away.

Grey Good Friday: It was a damp day on Friday as the weather did not play ball with it being a bank holiday but at least the gulls enjoyed having the harbour (largely) to themselves.

Maybe just one: It is hard to travel across Bristol without passing an artisan bakery of some sort or another. These cardamom and pistachio knots were being baked at Loaf this week.

In the shadow of giants: The cricket season is here, meaning fans heading to watch Gloucestershire home games can once again walk into the County Ground under the mural of legendary player W. G. Grace.

In all weathers: Every Saturday morning hundreds of runners take on the hills of Ashton Court as part of the weekly Park Run. Easter Saturday was no different despite the wind and rain.

Park life: Charity Your Park Bristol & Bath has been given almost £250,000 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund to improve accessibility for disabled people and their carers in parks in the two cities.

Recognition: The team at Common Ambition Bristol, which aims to reverse HIV health inequalities in the city, has been given a national award. Common Ambition raises awareness of HIV in African and Caribbean heritage communities through dedicated clinics and community events.

Lifesavers: Staff from University Hospitals Bristol and Weston NHS Foundation Trust (UHBW) have been providing crucial liver scans to people in the city's homeless community with the support of the Big Issue under the "Alright My Liver?" scheme.
