A production company has arrived in Aberystwyth to film scenes for season three of The Crown.

The next season of the award-winning drama about the Royal Family will star Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth, replacing Claire Foy who previously played the part. Tobias Menzies takes over the role of Prince Phillip from Matt Smith.

Locals are thought to be taking part in scenes being filmed at the Old College and around the seaside town.

Casting company Extra People recently appealed for background artists to take part in filming in Aberystwyth.

Filming will also take place at Caernarfon Castle.

Aberystwyth was also the setting for the detective series, Hinterland/Y Gwyllt, starring Richard Harrington.
