More than 3,000 people visited the pier for its anniversary.

The ticketed event on Monday evening was a sell out with the party ending with fireworks.

Chairman of the Clevedon Pier and Heritage Trust, Phil Curme, said: "Despite the flurry of wind and rain at 9pm, the firework finale was a fantastic spectacle for everyone.

"Our staff and volunteers did an outstanding job in putting this memorable event on and it was fantastic to see how much love and affection the people of Clevedon have for the pier."
