Three days of nautical entertainment was enjoyed by tens of thousands of people at Gloucester's Tall Ships festival.

Visitors of all ages experienced all kinds of weather during the event at Gloucester Docks which coincided with the Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.

Six celebrated tall ships sailed into Gloucester Docks for the spectacle which included a packed programme of family entertainment and lots of water-based activity.

The tall ships on show included TS Irene, built in 1907, which has sailed as part of the fleet of British merchant vessels and has appeared in blockbuster movie, Pirates of the Caribbean.

During the three days of the festival, Gloucester Docks was packed with activities, music and maritime adventure for all the family.

At Orchard Square and Victoria Dock some of the region's best music artists were playing, with amazing walkabout performers in Mariner's Square, which was also home to the children's activities area.

At the Soldiers of Gloucestershire Museum, there was a range of children's arts, crafts and sticker hunts, as well as live music.
