There's plenty of cheers at the V Festival and not just for the big name acts.

Between Katy Perry and Paolo Nutini performing, an announcer on the 4 Music stage raised massive cheers as he declared the England cricket team had reclaimed the Ashes.

Music lovers texting comedy messages to giant screens, next to the various stages, have also created a noise.

From "scream if you haven't showered" to "boo if you hate the Aussies", the atmosphere at Chelmsford's Hylands Park is definitely a happy one.

Headliners Oasis having to pull out has meant slightly longer gaps between each act but crowd spotting has never been so much fun.

Fancy dress outfits include a lad dressed as a Smurf, wrestling costumes and a man with a sunburn handprint on his chest.

Katy Perry proved a hit, especially when she had crowds singing along to the classic Queen track Don't Stop Me Now.

With the sun setting, pop fans are gearing up for Lady Gaga, who performs soon, and Snow Patrol.
