Gloucestershire in pictures: Fireworks and Pudsey Bear

This week fireworks displays have taken place across Gloucestershire.

The sky was lit up with colour and sparkles as fireworks exploded over the 900 year-old Tewkesbury Abbey during an early bonfire night.

Meanwhile, BBC Gloucestershire got their BBC Children in Need fundraising under way with two presenters completing a three-legged challenge.

St Oswald's Priory was lit up to mark being taken off the Heritage at Risk Register by Historic England.

Built around 900 AD, the priory is one of Gloucester's oldest medieval buildings.

Cirencester History Festival embraced Halloween with local legends Daisy May and Charlie Cooper.

A live screening of their latest BBC Programme Nightwatch was followed by a Q&A to an audience in full costume.

The Thousand Mile Challenge for BBC Children in Need got under way on Tuesday.

BBC Gloucestershire presenters Jon Smith and Nicky Price joined BBC local radio stations across the country attempting to walk three-legged with various guests over two days.

Children from Kingsholm CofE primary school turned up to cheer on Jon and Nicky and meet Pudsey the bear.

The project to reinstate the "missing mile" of the Stroudwater Navigation has received £6.4m of lottery funding.

Part of the canal was destroyed when the M5 motorway was built in the 1960s.

Work to take the canal under the motorway and reconnect with the UK waterways network is set to begin early next year.
