Hot air balloons took to the sky above Cholsey as the village's festival of flight returned for its third year.

More than 2,000 people were expected to attend the event last night as 14 balloons soared by.

Visitors also enjoyed a barbecue and a children's helium balloon race.

The hot air balloons hovered over the village recreation ground near Wallingford for an hour before returning to earth.

As night fell at 8pm they fired up for the traditional hot air balloon glow.
