Balloonists had an early start at Telford Balloon Fiesta as forecast bad weather left some balloons grounded in the afternoon.
Baloon flights were halted in the afternoon but many took to the skies early
While plenty of balloons took to the skies from Telford Town Park from 6am on Saturday, as Telford's annual fiesta went into its second day, bad weather on Saturday afternoon saw some balloons grounded.The three-day event began on Friday night with a night glow, when the balloons lifted off from Telford Town Park and illuminated the night.
The Telford Balloon Fiesta continued on Saturday, but poor weather in the afternoon meant there was little balloon activity until the showers cleared later on. The British Army's parachute display team made an entrance and dropped into Telford Park, and a Lancaster bomber made a fly past at around 2.30pm as the skies cleared to allow the fun and festivities to continue in the afternoon.The balloon festival carries on through Sunday, although balloon flights will remain"weather dependent" organisers have said.
