Bristol in pictures: Springing into action
We're only just into March but the first signs of spring being on the way have been seen in and around Bristol with a few days of rare sunshine. The past week also included international rugby action at Ashton Gate, the vicar at one of the city's key churches stepping down, and a cancer breakthrough at the Bristol Royal Infirmary. More than 1,000 people also went to an open day in Horfield. Sky on fire: Visitors to the harbourside on Saturday night were treated to a spectacular sunset enhanced by the lights from various bars and boats. Welcome back sunshine: Visitors have been enjoying the picturesque scenes at Tyntesfield, the ornate Gothic revival house close to Bristol, as clear sunny days returned. International action: England A took on Ireland A at Ashton Gate last weekend, with the red rose men winning the contest 28-12. Time to reflect: On Monday, the city marked three years since Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Crowds marched through the streets and there was a poignant photo exhibition in Broadmead Shopping Centre, showing how once-thriving communities have been affected by the war. Moving forward: Doctors have made a breakthrough at the Bristol Royal Infirmary as they announced a new-start up firm that could revolutionise cancer scans. Astral Systems has developed technology that can now make radioisotopes - used to pinpoint the growth of cancer in patients - in hospitals on demand. Saying goodbye: After 12 years as vicar of "the fairest, goodliest and most famous parish church in all England", Canon Dan Tyndall announced this week he will be leaving St Mary Redcliffe Church. Mr Tyndall, who will give his final service at Redcliffe on 13 July, said the role has been "a huge privilege, a real honour, and great fun". Fit to burst: Families enjoyed a fun-filled open day at Horfield Leisure Centre last weekend, as the facility celebrated its recent refurbishment by welcoming more than 1,000 people through its doors.
