Despite the overcast skies and flurries of rain, revellers at the East of England's biggest party have hailed it as "the best one yet".

Latitude Festival, held in Suffolk's Henham Park, launched in 2006 and has grown year on year, attracting huge names and providing a platform for rising stars. 

This year's headliners were Pulp, Paolo Nutini and George Ezra, with other notable performances from Metronomy and The Kooks.

Though the event, often mocked as 'the most middle-class festival' in the country, is known for more than just its music.

Among the comedians to perform were Ed Gamble, James Acaster and Romesh Ranganathan, who did not shy away from teasing the audience for its 'snooty' reputation.

Issac Woolnough, who lives in nearby Reydon, comes to the festival every year.

Mr Woolnough, 24, said: "I'm very lucky to have such a good festival on the doorstep, it's so close that it would be rude not to come each year.

"Despite the weather which has been bad, to say the least, I've had a great weekend with my mates and the vibe as always has been lovely, maybe the best one yet."

Gordon Shovlin and his wife Kay had made a 250-mile drive from Bristol to enjoy the festival.

Mr Shovlin, 63, said: “This is my first time to Latitude, my wife and I have done plenty of other festivals. 

"We really love it here, there’s lots to do, and plenty of variety. 

“We just got on with the weather and we have had a marvellous time. 

“I think spirit goes up when the weather gets especially bad because we are all in it together.” 

One reveller even took it upon themselves to belly slide in the mud.

Vaughan Clarke, from Ipswich, was making a return to Latitude for the first time in 14 years. 

Mr Clarke, 50, said: “I have had kids since I last came, so this is my first time back and it is a delight to be here with my family. 

“The festival has grown so much in that space of time, it seems significantly busier- we all got a bit wet yesterday but soldiered on.”
