A Bristol man was delighted to spot his father in a commemorative photograph of the floating harbour, featured in the Evening Post last August.

Clive Harris, 71, who now lives in Wotton-under-Edge, was leafing through the paper and was surprised to see the picture of his port master father in uniform on the docks.

Arthur Harris joined the docks as shed foreman the day after he left school in the 1920s and worked his way up to port master before retiring in 1972 at 65.

Clive Harris said: "I was shocked when I picked up the paper and saw my dad staring back at me; it was a lovely surprise though.

"His whole life was devoted to the docks so to be remembered like this is a great honour."

The series of more than 100 images to commemorate the 200th anniversary of Bristol's Floating Harbour is currently on display throughout the harbour.

Sales advisor for Crest Nicholson, Laura Ratcliffe, said: "It's wonderful that Mr Harris spotted the picture of his father in the paper and was able to pop down to Harbourside to see the picture for himself."
