Julian Marley, son of the reggae legend Bob Marley, said he is excited to be returning to the UK and performing in Kent.

Mr Marley is performing at The Margate Reggae Festival at Dreamland on Saturday.

He said: "We cannot wait to reach Margate. It's a great feeling to be able to come into our zone where we grew [up], where we lived, England.

"It's great to come and bring this message and this music to Margate."
