Tens of thousands of music fans descended on Hylands Park in Chelmsford for this year's Radio 2 in the Park
The BBC radio station's flagship music was held in Chelmsford - the birthplace of radio
Bryan Adams ended Saturday on a high with a set that thrilled the crowd, following the likes of Belinda Carlisle, Jessie J and Ronan Keating
Sunday's headliners Def Leppard also brought the roof down, rounding off a day that included sets from Olly Murs, Anastacia and Soul II Soul

"We love the Radio 2 festivals - we are hardcore fans," he says. "Today, we want to see Soul II Soul and Olly Murs."
He also says there are "amazing" scotch eggs being served at the festival.
We're now feeling rather peckish.
"Lovely Radio 2 people. Lovely Essex people. We're going to take it down with a nice song," Brett Anderson tells the crowd.
He says the song is all about "being nice".
That song is none other than Saturday Night, released in 1996.
The crowd calmed down a little during Suede's newly released song, Trance State, but things are popping off again with She Still Leads Me On.
The band ask the crowd to clap along and they happily oblige.
We definitely need more of these legendary bands coming to Essex for gigs in the future!

Good effort, team - we are happy to have you here!
They are most looking forward to Def Leppard but Effy says “all the others have been a real bonus”.
Animal Nitrate proves to be a huge hit with Suede's crowd.
You can hear them singing along with the band as frontman Brett Anderson whips the microphone cable around.
The energy is immense!

Future collab with Bob coming in the future then, Josh?
Brett Anderson, frontman of Suede, is loving it on stage after just one song.
What an incredible start for the band.
Suede open with their song Trash and the guitars and synth sound epic!
Heads are instantly rocking across the crowd.
Image source, Mark Allan/BBCSuede is next on the main stage at 15:30 BST.
The band formed in 1992 and skyrocketed into fame after their debut album, Suede, topped the UK Albums Chart and won the Mercury Music Prize.
"We have have great memories of headlining in Hylands Park [at V Festival] way back in 1999 , so are really looking forward to returning," they said prior to Radio 2 in the Park.
I think it's fair to say 80s pop queen Belinda Carlisle brought heaven to Chelmsford last night.
If you want to relive her set, we've got you covered with the video above.

She has travelled here from Guernsey in the Channel Islands with her sister, Kate Moody.
Jo says: "We are here for four days enjoying the sights and sounds of Essex... our favourite act so far has been Kid Creole & The Coconuts... what a show they put on!"
Kate adds: "We love Radio 2 in the Park because it's so friendly and well organised. It's a chance to relive our misspent youth!"
Louise gave us her all during her performance on the main stage just now.
Here are all the songs she performed:
While it did not bother Louise, many of us were given a small scare when a national test emergency alert went off on mobile phones at 15:00 BST.
It did not last long before we could focus back on the singer, fortunately.

Image source, Lauren Jane Carter/BBCYesterday, we met maybe Essex's biggest Stereophonics fan, but today we present possibly the country's most devout Def Leppard follower.
Justin has travelled from Leicester to Hylands Park to watch the band.
"I probably have over 1,500 to 1,600 Def Leppard items," he explains.
"It was a heck of a job to work out which T-shirt to wear as I have over 110 of them."
Together Again completes Louise's set on the main stage and she thanks the crowd once more.
Personally, we loved her dance moves throughout and the fact she could not stop smiling - it clearly means a lot to her being on stage.
Thank you for the party, Louise!
Let's Go Round Again is the penultimate song of Louise's setlist and everyone is dancing.
Ahead of her final song she thanks the Chelmsford crowd for their support and they cheer back.
The hits from 1993 keep on coming with Just A Step From Heaven up next from Louise.
"Those songs are about 32 years old," she says afterwards. "How time flies."
Now she is performing her cover of Stuck in the Middle With You.
Just look at Louise.
Thirty years in the business and she is still knocking it out the park.
She performs her song Stay next, which was released way back in 1993.

The sunny weather is helping to create quite the queue at this van!
"It's hot up here, especially in these boots," Louise tells the crowd ahead of performing her more recent song, Manifesting, which was released this year.
She adds about Manifesting: "It's kind of a vibe - you need to think cocktails."
