Forty balloons take flight to thank NHS key workers

Around forty balloons took flight over Bristol this morning (Sunday 9 September) as a thank you to NHS staff and key workers for all their hard work during the pandemic.

They set off from Ashton Court shortly after sunrise with a group of the lucky key workers on board.

Those on the ground were treated to the spectacular sight of the balloons flying over the city's harbour - if they were up early enough!
