The Village Pump Folk Festival had a sentimental start last night.

Committee members and early bird campers, at the White Horse Country Park, in Westbury, raised a glass of Champagne in memory of deceased former members of the event's organising team.

The crowd commemorated at a memorial bench on the grounds under the gaze of the Westbury White Horse.

John Alderslade, festival director, said: "We've got a good crowd in already and we all came together last night to raise a glass to those members of our team who have passed away over the years.

"Now, we are looking to the festival and hoping to have another great event."

Artists performing today include Steve Knightley, Martyn Joseph and duo Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin.

The Village Pump Folk Festival runs until Sunday and will feature around 50 musicians performing across two stages and a club tent.
