Thousands of people descended on Chingford for a proper knees-up in the park.

The return of Chingfest on Saturday saw X-Factor star Rebecca Ferguson headline the main stage.

The Liverpool soul singer, who went further than One Direction in the singing competition, dazzled crowds at the biggest party in Chingford’s social calendar.

Ridgeway Park was abuzz with families, with people young and old throwing their best shapes together.

A custom-built Chingfest arena played host to a star-studded line-up including N-Trance, Gwen Dickie, Kenny Thomas, DJ Ernie and many more.

A selection of food and drink stalls were on hand to accompany the hours of live music.
