In pictures: Fun in the sun at The Big Picnic

Thousands came down to The Big Picnic in Alexandra Gardens in Windsor on Saturday to enjoy the sunshine.

The free event, organised by The Firestation, saw about 4,000 people pass through across the day.

Now in its fifth year, the family festival was bigger than ever before with live music acts and stalls, including a cocktail bar, sweet sellers and boutiques from businesses in the surrounding area.

"This is definitely the best one so far," said Chamtal Bajomee, one of the organisers.

"We have had lots of different DJ’s and bands, a more folky feel this year."

She added that this year there were more stalls than in previous years and that annual event will 'definitely' be back in 2014.

Bands performing this year included Gordie MacKeeman and His Rhythm Boys and musician Katy Carr.
