ALMOST a dozen colourful hot air balloons filled the skies above Bristol to mark the countdown to the city's annual fiesta.

Balloons launched from College Green in the heart of the city on Friday morning, as commuters gathered to watch the inflation and ascent.
The 47th Bristol International Balloon Fiesta, which is free to attend, will return to Ashton Court Estate from August 8 to 10, celebrating the city and its hot air balloon heritage.
More than 100 balloons are expected to take part in this year's mass ascents, scheduled for 6am and 6pm each day, weather permitting.
