Saturday Highlights
Loving these pictures from the DJ stage on Saturday.
Big names, big tunes and even bigger dance moves.
Wait... is that Mr Blobby playing a guitar?!
Go on, Paddy!
There aren't many smoother than Tony Blackburn
Now this is a combination you didn't expect to see today
Let there be smoke!

Reporting from Essex
Don't ask me why, but I was absolutely terrified of Mr Blobby as a child.
There's something about his eyes that were enough to unsettle me aged three.
My editor, Orla, is of a much different opinion, however.
"He bakes. He sings. He's a tour de force!" - is the message I've just received.
We'll have to agree to disagree.
You're a braver person than me, Fearne Cotton
Want to make sure you don't miss your favourite artist?
Here's a handy list of when they're all due to hit the main stage:
Recognise anyone in this picture from the DJ stage yesterday? They're getting stuck in!
The team at BBC iPlayer have been hard at work clipping up the must watch moments from yesterday.
You'd be hard-pressed to find anyone in the crowd who wasn't singing along to Belinda Carlisle's Heaven is a Place on Earth.
There were goosebumps all round when Stereophonics began to play their hit anthem Dakota.
Marti Pellow made sure to give the crowd Love is all Around, which spent 15 weeks as UK number one.
If it's Jessie J you're after, she belted out the instantly-recognisable Price Tag.
Talking of belting songs out, Ella Henderson smashed it with Ghost.
Ronan Keating wasn't messing about when it came to singing hit Life is a Rollercoaster.
And Kid Creole & the Coconuts turned it on big time with Annie, I'm Not Your Daddy
The good news is yes, they are!
Headlining tonight is Def Leppard, with performances from Essex boy Olly Murs, Anastacia and Sophie Ellis-Bextor during the day.
Rylan, Gary Davies, Sara Cox, Trever Nelson, Owain Wyn Evans, DJ Spoony and Vernon Kay will also be on the DJ stage.
Fancy it? Tickets information is available here.

I'm not sure we have - so many of those sets were phenomenal!
We were delighted by the likes of Ella Henderson, Marti Pellow, Kid Creole & The Coconuts, Jessie J, Ronan Keating and Belinda Carlisle.
Headliner Bryan Adams then blew away the huge crowd here in Essex.

Wow - what a day Saturday was.
It was full of great vibes, great music and great weather - made even better by a surprise performance by my favourite Spice Girl.
I racked up almost 22,000 steps, so climbing into bed was a very welcome feeling.
But I'm ready to do it all again today, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I might meet Anastacia!
Image source, Getty ImagesHello and welcome back to our live page for the final day of Radio 2 in the Park at Hylands Park in Chelmsford.
We are in for another exciting day of music on the main stage, with sets from disco queen Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Essex's own Olly Murs and heavy metal legends Def Leppard.
Stay with us for all the latest updates from across the festival.
Wow! What a day it has been here at Radio 2 in the Park in Chelmsford.
Are you as speechless as we are?
It has been nothing short of electric, rounded off by the legend that is Bryan Adams.
We’re pausing our live updates for now but make sure you come back on Sunday, when the action continues.
See you from midday. Goodnight.
Sunday's main stage line-up is looking as strong as Saturday's.
Here are the acts you can expect:

Chelmsford has partied hard today at Hylands Park during Radio 2 in the Park.
While the party isn't quite over for the weekend, it has been quite a day here.
The day started strongly with a performance from Stereophonics and there was even a fan in the crowd who was seeing them for the 21st time!
Ella Henderson was next on stage, belting out numerous hits, before Marti Pellow wowed the crowd in his glorious kilt and spoke of his love for Essex.
Kid Creole and the Coconuts was next, jamming away and giving off positive vibes, ahead of Essex's own Jessie J, who was open about her recent breast cancer surgery.
Ronan Keating then had everyone singing about life being a rollercoaster, followed by Belinda Carlisle giving a majestic performance with her songs Heaven Is a Place on Earth and Circle in the Sand.
Finally, Bryan Adams offered the crowd epic guitar riffs, banging tunes, a cameo from Mel C, and he wowed the crowd with his best known song, Summer Of '69.
It is hard to describe just how good today was and we cannot wait to do it all again with you tomorrow!

Earlier we spoke to Lorraine Lodge, 59, from Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, who has seen Bryan Adams a whopping 80 times.
So how did she find tonight's performance?
She says it was “just as good as ever, 10 out of 10, as usual".
That is it, it is all over for the night.
What a song to end it on. Summer of '69 was phenomenal and I'm sure Bryan Adams and his band will be pleased with the crowd's reaction.
Adams thanks his band and the crowd at the end of his set, and they respond with an almighty roar that I am sure could be heard all over Chelmsford.
The band bows and the drummer throws his sticks into the crowd.
How do we all recover after that?
Alice Cunningham

I grew up listening to Bryan Adams thanks to my parents' love for the Canadian singer.
While I am not at Hylands Park tonight and instead am watching from elsewhere in Essex, if there is one thing I am sure of, it is that I must see him live in the next few years.
I am blown away by his performance.
He has barely spoken to the crowd but they are like putty in his hands, responding to every song, guitar riff and drum beat.
Please come back to Essex, Bryan!
The banger that is Summer of '69 is rolled out.
Everyone is going mad and Bryan lets the crowd sing the first few bars alone.
This might be his final song and what a way to finish!
Image source, Elliot Deady/BBCNow 65-years-old, Bryan Adams's stage presence is still as amazing as it was 30 years ago.
It is not hard to see why he was given the nickname The Groover from Vancouver all those years ago.
The crowd immediately responds when Bryan Adams begins his next song, the classic (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
He leaves them to sing the chorus on their own. And they do not need any encouragement.
While it is a slower-paced song, the audience is still screaming and dancing.
Mel C was only on stage for one song but she and Bryan Adams looked great together.
Can we get an encore, Mel?
Topless men, and women in just their bras in the crowd. This really is quite something happening during the Bryan Adams set.
At least there is no rain this evening!
