Bristol in pictures: Aragorn, Take That and D-Day memorials

At any given time, there are dozens of photographers in Bristol capturing snapshots of life, from news to sport and live entertainment.

Here’s a selection of pictures taken in the city over the last few days, covering everything from T20 cricket to film stars, pop concerts and D-Day.

Back for good: It was all about Take That in and around Ashton Gate this weekend as the band returned for two sold-out gigs at the stadium. This photo was taken by Rogan Thomson.

Above: David Davies of the Press Association took this photo of the County ground in Bristol during Friday night’s T20 Blast match between Gloucestershire and Hampshire.

The club has been in the city for more than a century but could be on the move if plans for an out-of-town stadium, currently in the early stages, go ahead.

Entering Bristol: Actor Viggo Mortensen, perhaps best known for his role as Aragorn in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, was a special guest at the Watershed Arts Center on Friday night to talk about the film The Dead Don’t Hurt, which he directed.

Performed by Bristol Beacon’s resident orchestra – Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra – it was a farewell to conductor Kirill Karabits, who is stepping down after 15 years at the helm.
