Bristol Harbour Festival
Bad weather marred the 42nd Bristol Harbour Festival this weekend but organisers still say a 250,000 people attended. It's the second biggest street festival in the country and celebrates the city's maritime history.
"If we'd had a fine festival we'd have broken records"
This weekend's Harbour Festival in Bristol was hit by the bad weather. Mike Richmond, the Managing Director of Bristol Harbour Festival, told our correspondent Bob Constantine that, despite this, the event still attracted around a quarter of a million people.
