Disappointing weather put a dampener on the final day of the Sundae on the Common festival in south London.
inthenews.co.uk's Julia Ross said the crowd was comprised of "lots of Clapham people looking cold and overdressed" while other festivalgoers claimed the event had the feel of the Latitude festival but with more branding.
However, limitless free ice cream from sponsors Ben and Jerry's was on offer while a number of ethical food companies were selling their wares in conjunction with social awareness campaigns at the festival.
Held annually in the south London park, Sundae on the Common this year features a host of established and up-and-coming acts, as well as bountiful amounts of free ice cream, fairground attractions and social mission activites concerning Ben and Jerry's commitment to Fairtrade production.
Saturday's lineup included Scottish veterans Teenage Fanclub and Welsh indie greats Super Furry Animals, while the likes of the Answering Machine and Camera Obscura were part of a Sunday roster topped by the Futureheads and the Human League.
