Hundreds of people were dancing in the streets of Watford to the sound of live music during the "party by the pond" on Saturday evening.

International DJ and star of The Only Way is Essex, Lauren Pope, headlined the afternoon and evening of classic covers, rock anthems and top club tunes.

The event was part of the Watford Big Events series presented from a huge stage erected earlier in the dya.

Young and old were drawn to the entertainment which kicked off with an opening set by local radio DJs at 3.30pm.

The funk and soul band Funkify took the stage at 4pm, followed by the popular covers band Scandal and then The Spitfires took the entertainment on into the evening.

Pope was centre stage at 8pm supported by professional dancers from the X-Factor and Britain’s Got Talent.
