Photos of the year 2023
If there is a protest in our city, Bristol24/7 photographer Rob Browne will be there, capturing images for posterity.
This year, there were as many protests as ever, with Rob also attending events such as the reopening of Gaol Ferry Bridge, a light show at Bristol Cathedral and the Hardcore Fun Day at Dean Lane Skatepark.
These are Rob’s favourite photos of the year.
