Road closures will be in place this weekend for a 'Freedom of the City' parade taking place in Bristol city centre.
Several roads will be shut between 9.30am and midday on Saturday (February 22) as the 39 Signal Regiment marches through the city.
Baldwin Street, College Green, Colston Avenue, Colston Street, and Park Street are all likely to be affected by the parade, which will be attended by up to 200 soldiers from the Horfield-based reserve regiment.
This is a milestone year for the regiment as the Royal Corps of Signals celebrates its centenary.
The Lord Mayor of Bristol, Councillor Jos Clark said: “After granting Freedom of the City, I am very proud to continue the celebration along with this wonderful regiment’s centenary.
