THE hotly anticipated new series of The Crown is underway - with some scenes shot in the Bradford district.

Earlier this year, streets around Forster Square and Canal Road were transformed into 1990s Moscow for the fifth series of the Netflix hit drama.

Russian signs were placed on buildings and streets, vintage cars were brought in and props such as old telephone boxes were installed.

Here are some images from The Crown location filming, and from other TV dramas and films with a royal link which have been shot in Bradford over recent years.

From ITV period drama Victoria, shot in City Hall and Centenary Square, to The Duke, starring Dame Helen Mirren and Jim Broadbent, filmed in City Hall, Cannon Mills and Cartwright Hall, there have been several right royal dramas shot in our district.
