Stunning pictures from the Bristol Balloon Fiesta

Up and away - Sunday morning's mass ascent was able to take off

The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta is in full swing - with mass ascents, night glows - and even a proposal.

The annual event has been drawing thousands of people to Ashton Court on the edge of the city.

Poor weather on Friday put paid to any flying that day, but better conditions over the weekend have led to some stunning scenes over the city and the surrounding countryside.

The event continues on Sunday.
