Before would-be swimmers dip their toe into the lake at Henham Park, there's one or two notices for them to read.

We'll hear from two intrepid swimmers in a little while.

As well as taking a swim in the lake at Latitude, there are other ways of keeping cool, although not surprisingly, they come at a price.

Michele Illing from Tunbridge Wells paid £13.50 for two lagers, including a £2 deposit per cup. 

She said: "It's quite expensive but not much more than I would expect to pay in a pub at home. Having to pay for the cups keeps the litter down, which is good for the festival environment."

If you want to have one of your "five-a-day" then strawberries and cream are £3.50 a cup.

Here's the Sunrise Arena, packed for Norfolk duo Let's Eat Grandma, who along with Christine and the Queens are definitely one of the buzz bands of the festival.

An optometrist who failed to spot an eye condition in a boy who later died is found guilty of gross negligence manslaughter.

Ryan Gallant, the second act given the opportunity by BBC Introducing in Suffolk to perform at the Latitude Festival, external, will be appearing as Muckaniks on the Lake Stage tomorrow at about 12:15.

He said a track of his was also being played on Radio 1 next week: "I didn't think this year could get any better!"

The good news is that sunscreen's going to be more important than an umbrella.

A Haverhill travel consultant, with clients who flew into Nice yesterday morning, has explained what she does in the aftermath of an event such as last night's attack.

Jenny Bradnam said: "The first thing we do is try to contact them immediately; make sure they are safe, make sure we can locate them and give them any advice that we can.

She said Nice was used a lot as a gateway to southern France, and also as a place to board cruise ships, with people often spending the night there before moving on.

"It's devastating for the people of France, and everyone, and our heart goes out to them," she said.

Labour's MEP for the East of England has responded to last night's attack in Nice, in which more than 80 people died, saying: "Everyone should shed tears... We should all be in mourning for the people who have died here."

Richard Howitt added: "This was deliberately timed to cause the biggest carnage and to have the greatest symbolic attack on French society and I feel such sympathy and deep upset for France."

An Ipswich borough councillor, who comes from Brittany in France, has spoken of her shock and sadness at the Nice lorry attack.

Sophie Meudec, Labour councillor for Whitton, said: "This incident is very tragic and I'm sure it has wrecked many families' lives..

"Bastille Day is our national day; it actually symbolises liberty and freedom and this is more or less an attack to our aspirations of freedom in France."

We'll turn our attention now to the lorry attack in Nice last night in which at least 84 people are known to have been killed.

Denise Cogan, who used to live in Felixstowe, but now lives in Paris, the timing was significant, coming only a few days after the success of the Euro 2016 football tournament.

"I think people were feeling relatively safe, and that's probably why they chose this moment," she said.

"It's so very symbolic because it's Bastille Day, which is France's national holiday; it's one of the most popular events of the year. It really is a day chosen to symbolically crush France."

Who says Latitude, external is a middle-class festival?'

Following the guilty verdict on optometrist Honey Rose, senior investigating officer Det Supt Tonya Antonis said: "This case was about much more than justice for Vinnie's family.

"Whatever the outcome of the trial, it was never going to bring Vinnie back and it was never their aim to see Honey Rose imprisoned; they only want to raise awareness of the issue so that something positive can come from his death.

She continued: "If this case makes the optometry profession reflect on their practices and review their policies to prevent it happening to anyone again, or encourages other parents to take their children to get their eyes tested with the knowledge that any serious issues would be picked up, then it will be worthwhile.

"Vinnie's family have been amazing throughout this process... I would like to thank them for their support and pay tribute to their courage."

Two sisters from Butley, near Woodbridge, are the first of three unsigned acts selected by BBC Introducing in Suffolk to perform on the Lake Stage at Latitude, external.

Bess and Jayna Cavendish, who perform as AYA, will be on any minute now.

The family of Vinnie Barker have issued a statement, following the guilty verdict on optometrist Honey Rose at Ipswich Crown Court.

It says: "The outcome of this case does not change our life sentence; we will never be able to fully accept that our special little boy is never coming home. 

"The void left in our lives will never heal and the ripple effect to those around us is immense. 

"As parents the distress of witnessing your child’s life from start to end in just eight short years is excruciatingly hard and nonsensical.  

"The decision of a jury or judge cannot bring Vinnie back or undo the devastation of his death."

The Association of Optometrists, external has issued a statement, following the guilty verdict on Honey Rose at Ipswich Crown Court.

It says: "This is a tragic case which is devastating for all concerned, and our sympathies go to the Barker family at this time. We are naturally extremely disappointed for our member, Ms Rose, in the outcome of the case.  

"The case, a criminal one involving an optometrist on clinical matters, is the first of its kind in the UK. There are millions of sight tests undertaken in the UK each year. Optometrists adhere to strict standards of practice set out by the regulatory body, the General Optical Council.  

"We are aware that Ms Rose is currently before the GOC in a Fitness to Practise hearing and as a result we are unable to comment further at this time."

The trial of Honey Rose started 10 days ago. 

When the verdict came it was relatively quick, In fact, the jury had only been out for just over two hours when they returned to court this morning just after 11:00.

Rose was asked to stand and so was the foreman of the jury. 

The foreman was asked: "Have you reached a verdict on which you're all agreed?" She replied: "Yes." 

That verdict: "Guilty of manslaughter through gross negligence." 

Sentencing has been adjourned to a date to be fixed, probably in about four weeks' time.

A jury at Ipswich Crown Court has found optometrist Honey Rose guilty of the manslaughter through gross negligence of eight-year-old Vinnie Barker, who died in July 2012 after fluid built up in his brain.

Five months before Vinnie died, Ms Rose, 35, who denied the charge, had performed a routine eye test on him while working as a locum at a branch of Boots in Ipswich.

The court had heard that she failed to detect Vinnie's swollen optic discs during the examination and therefore failed to refer him on for further investigation, and that his death would have been preventable if the optometrist "had done her job properly".
