A new Blue Plaque has been unveiled to a large crowd in Bishopston at the childhood home of Hollywood giant Cary Grant.
The actor lived at the home from the age of 4 to 8, with Historic England saying it was some of the happiest times of his childhood.
Grant was born Archie Leach, and lived at various addresses around the city before running away from home, joining the circus and then becoming a Hollywood legend, starring in films such as North by Northwest and Charade.

The National Blue Plaque scheme is being run by Historic England and aims to “celebrate people from all walks of life who have made a significant contribution to human welfare or happiness”
Grant joins Beatles member George Harrison, ceramic designer Clarice Cliff, and the first black NHS matron Daphne Steele as a recipient of the honour.
The actor also has a plaque at his birthplace in Horfield and a statue in the city centre.
