The Aberdeen Big Bounce has returned for 2022 with hundreds of families lining Upperkirkgate to take part in the fun.

It is the first time since 2019 that the charity event has taken place in the city, with the last event drawing a reporter 20,000 visitors to its giant inflatables.

Running until Sunday afternoon, it raises money for One Great Day, Charlie House, and Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Today, our photographer Paul Glendell stopped by to capture families making the most of the fantastic weather.

Can you spot any of your family members or friends in our gallery below?
