Gloucestershire in pics: Royals and tree planting

Our weekly round-up of pictures includes some gorgeous sunrises and great community spirit in Stroud.

There was also a royal visit to Cheltenham and an incredible sunrise over Kingsholm.

Early bird: Mornings are getting brighter - slowly - but this chilly sunrise this week was beautiful to see. James sent in this superb picture taken at Woodchester Park.

Community efforts: Nailsworth residents braved the chill as they joined staff from Stroud Valleys Project, Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust and Nailsworth Town Council for a day of tree planting. New trees were planted in the King George V Playing Fields and Miles Marling Field, with volunteers young and old on hand to dig, plant and secure the young trees.

Peaceful settings: Something about this photo taken by weather watcher Tom Poet at Edge in Painswick makes us want to wrap a pair of fingerless gloves around a warm cup of tea and enjoy the sunrise.

Special visit: The Princess Royal met many guests during her visit to Wings for Warriors, a charity that trains wounded, injured or unwell servicemen and veterans as professional pilots at the Gloucestershire Airport Training Facility in Cheltenham.

Striking skies: Contributor Pixie caught this impressive sunrise over Kingsholm just as the colours in the sky started to mix together.

Cloudy reflections: This photo sums up the weather in Gloucestershire this week. A bit of sun and a bit of cloud. The water is so still it could be a mirror.
