The West was treated to a show-stopping sunrise on Tuesday.

Commuters basked in a pink and yellow glow that stretched across the region as they made their way to work.

Awe-inspiring snapshots of the beautiful start to the day were captured by BBC listeners and readers based everywhere from the Forest of Dean to Frome.

The warm hues of the sky did not stop the chill from creeping in, with temperatures close to freezing.

The sunrise is slowly creeping earlier and earlier as we head towards March, with the sun due to rise at 06.59 GMT on Wednesday in Bristol.

It will be the first time it has risen before 07.00 GMT in 2024.
