45 hilarious pictures of soggy music lovers making the most of the downpours at BBC Radio 2 in the Park

Music fans dressed in bin bags, waterproofs and wellies braved the heavy downpours to enjoy the final day of BBC Radio 2 in the Park.

Preston’s Moor Park turned into a mud bath this weekend but festivalgoers were undeterred.

The heavy rain failed to dampen the mood as music lovers danced away to Shed Seven, the Pet Shop Boys, Gabrielle, Paul Heaton and Sister Sledge.

Conditions became so bad in the evening staff on the entrance were forced to turn away vulnerable fans arriving on crutches.
