Gloucestershire in pics: Pies and record breakers

Local traditions, local scenery and local success - it's been another beautiful week in Gloucestershire.

The ongoing tradition of the Lamprey pie being presented to the King continued, but with a twist this year.

A few raindrops this week, but nothing to dampen the spirit of a local record breaker - whose story inspired people not just in Gloucestershire but around the UK.

Fabulous Framilode: A stunning start to the week with Abstract Emotion sending this setting through to our Weather Watchers page.

The clear blue sky reflecting off the river is a beautiful example of those hidden, beautiful corners of the county.

A taste of Highgrove: Here we can see RHS President Keith Weed and King Charles III, patron of the Royal Horticultural Society, looking around the Highgrove stand during a visit to the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London.

Inspirational stories: A woman who lost the ability to walk as a teenager has broken the world record for cycling the length of the UK and back.

Sarah Ruggins, from Gloucestershire, was diagnosed with a rare neurological condition called complex regional pain syndrome, which also meant she lost her ability to move her hands without support.

She cycled 1,677 miles (2,700 km) from John O'Groats to Land's End and back again in five days, 11 hours and 14 minutes.

Beauty in the rain: A bit of a drizzly week in between some sunshine in Gloucestershire this week - but that doesn't stop our weather watchers.

This was a firm favourite for us this week as the raindrops look so beautiful despite the grey skies.

Pie anyone? Lamprey pie is made from sea lampreys which were a delicacy for the wealthy in medieval England. The pies were often given as gifts to royalty as a means of seeking favour.

It then became a tradition for the city of Gloucester to give the monarch a lamprey pie.

This year though, there's a twist, after local sculptor Deborah Harrison made a permanent fixture for Highgrove with this stone lamprey pie to celebrate the King's coronation.

Stunning captures: We spotted this photo and instantly loved it. The colours are just gorgeous, and Tewkesbury Abbey looks amazing with that backdrop.
