Gloucestershire has been buzzing this week with the excitement of snow and the Cheltenham Festival.

There have been some loud outfits and frosty mornings in the county with lots of celebrating and dancing - but also some reflective moments.

Let's reflect back on some of our favourite moments from the week.

Early starts: A gorgeous sunrise on Thursday as reflected here by our Weather Watcher "Tone Poet" in Quedgeley.

With a mix of weather this week, from rain to snow to sunshine, it was nice to have clear blue sky to wake us up on Thursday.

Surprising snow: A shock to the system on Wednesday as the county welcomed snow.

But the Cheltenham Festival went ahead as planned with some stunning scenes to start "Style Wednesday".

Loud outfits: It was a busy day on Wednesday with bright and wonderful outfits for "Style Wednesday".

It was certainly a stylish day and Queen Camilla even made an appearance at the racecourse ahead of the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

With all this changing weather, the bright side is the beautiful sunrises and sunsets we have seen this week.
