Ewan McGregor was given a warm reception by film fans as he arrived at the 60th Sebastian International Film Festival in San Sebastian.

The Scots actor was at the Spanish resort to promote The Impossible, by Spanish director Juan Antonio Bayona, in which he co-stars with Naomi Watts.

The film is based on the story of a family caught in the 2004 Thailand tsunami.

McGregor has received praise for the film and has been awarded the annual Donostia Award by organisers.
