NEWS SHOPPER joined the crowds at this year's Thamesmead Community Festival today - watch the video of the event here.

The annual free festival organised by Trust Thamesmead was held in Birchmere Park.

Among the acts performing on the main stage were finalists from this year's T-Factor competition, as well big names like Hot Chocolate, Jaki Graham and Michelle Gayle.

The festival had a laid-back feel with a Hawaiian beach for people to get away from it all.

And a Health Zone, with alternative therapies and Tai-chi for those who still needed tips on how to relax.

For the more active residents of Thamesmead there were sports, bouncy castles and of course lots of dancing.
