Jeremy Clarkson also among those at wet Cornbury Festival

Conservative Party leader David Cameron and TV motoring pundit Jeremy Clarkson were amongst the 10,000 or so fans who braved torrential rain at the Cornbury Festival over the weekend (July 5-6).

Cameron, trailed by a phalanx of photographers, ventured out of the VIP area on Saturday afternoon to watch The Bangles perform at the event held near Charlbury, Oxfordshire.

Other attractions across the weekend included Paul Simon, playing his only UK show this summer, Crowded House, Toots And The Maytals, Carbon/Silicon and KT Tunstall.
