The final mass ascent of this year’s Bristol Balloon Fiesta has been given the green light by organisers.
They said they made the “unusual decision” to confirm Sunday evening’s ascent hours ahead of time because of the “beautifully calm conditions” forecast.
It means that colourful balloons, launched at Ashton Court Estate, will brighten the skies above Bristol from 18:00 BST on Sunday, the third and final day of the festival.
The unpredictability of the weather usually means take-off is not confirmed until the last moment.
