A viewer has sent us this footage of one of the hot air balloons having a difficult landing in Bristol. A spectator was watching the Bristol Balloon Fiesta mass ascent last night on Durdham Downs when he saw the Woody Woodpecker balloon on a very low approach.
He says it nearly hit an ice cream van, people and cars but no one was hurt.
The organisers of the Bristol balloon fiesta say they'll review parking arrangements after being forced to turn people away on Saturday.
Thousands have enjoyed the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta despite the winds grounding many of the balloons.
Fiesta enters final weekend
