The colourful sights of Nottingham's Goose Fair have been captured from the air by a unique hot air balloon club.
Members of Nottingham and Derby Hot Air Balloon Club launched from Nottingham High School on Monday before flying over the annual funfair.
The balloon club started in 1978 and is believed to be the only one in the UK with membership open to the general public.
Monday's flight was extra special for club members Robin Macey (ON 1972-1979) and his son Ashley (ON 2016-2023), as they are both former pupils of Nottingham High School.
"It was very special launching from the High School playground and getting great aerial views of both the school and Goose Fair" - Robin Macey
