Weeping angels and ice thrones

The big freeze – York's Festival of Angels is back. Photographs: Richard McDougall

The annual Festival of Angels returned to the Quarter (Swinegate, Back Swinegate, Grape Lane) this weekend. Starting this morning and running until Sunday evening, bars and businesses in these streets are all delivering a colourful variety of warming winter fodder, along with family entertainment.

I took two reluctant young accomplices to enjoy the atmosphere. Have a look at some of the highlights below or better still, make the most of the unseasonably mild weekend and take a trip into town.
