THE start of Burnley's Balloon Festival this morning meant a few additions to the town's skyline.
Balloons of all shapes and sizes in a dazzling array of colours are set to take the festival in Towneley Park to new heights.
Balloons will take off from the park at around 6am tomorrow and again at 6pm.
On Sunday evening the balloons will be combined with fireworks, music and special effects for a 'nightglow' spectacular display.
Tessa Tennant, managing director of Flying Pictures, the company operating the event said: "It promises to be a great success and I am sure this will be the first of many."
