Despite the problems at the beginning of the Isle of Wight festival last week, it was clear (as pointed out in our several reports) than thousands of people (including us) enjoying a fantastic festival.
So what better way to illustrate that than with photographic galleries that capture the essence of the festival.
The atmosphere this year really shone through, where ever we went we saw the happy smiling faces and dancing bodies of those enjoying themselves.
We’re starting with Friday, look out for follow up galleries for Saturday and Sunday.
