ON MONDAY, a festival dedicated to the memory of a beloved presenter returned to Englefield House for its second year.

Flackstock, which celebrates the life of the late Caroline Flack, saw musical performances from Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Olly Murs, and Matt Goss, of Bros fame, who was joined on stage by Chewbacca the Wookiee.

This Feeling also performed, following the announcement of the recording of their 7th studio album back in January this year.

All Saints’ Mel Blatt, Steve Proud, and Denise Van Outen took to the decks for DJ sets throughout the festival, with comedians Jason Manford and Keith Lemon giving laugh-out-loud sets.

Last Year’s event raised £325,000, split between four mental health charities: Choose Love, Samaritans, Mind, and The Charlie Waller Trust.

This year’s festival again be raised funds for the charities, which family and friends say were close to Caroline’s heart.
