The wet weather hasn't dampened spirits as thousands flock to Weston Park for this year's V Festival.

"It's definitely wet, again, I don't think I've ever been to a V Festival when it's dry, but it's nice!" one festival-goer says.

Another states that the day has been filled with "lots of drinking, lots of fun, seeing lots of acts you wouldn't normally see and it's been great."

Day one sees the likes of The Wailers, Jason Derulo, Clean Bandit, Ellie Goulding and Jay Z take to the stages in Staffordshire.
