UB40 featuring Ali Campbell brought five spectacular nights of music at Thetford Forest to a close on Sunday evening, entertaining a near sell-out crowd with an evening packed full of reggae classics.

Fans arrived early to enjoy the warm summer atmosphere before singing along to a host of hits from one of Britain's most iconic reggae bands.

The relaxed forest setting provided the perfect backdrop as concertgoers danced and enjoyed the final show of the annual Forest Live series.

Former England striker Teddy Sheringham was also spotted in the VIP area ahead of the performance.

He happily stopped to pose for selfies with fans before making his way to the front of the stage to watch the show.

Festivalgoers were blessed with sunshine throughout all five days of the event, helping to create a fantastic atmosphere from start to finish.

The series began on Wednesday evening with pop favourites McFly, before music legend Nile Rodgers & CHIC took to the stage on Thursday with a set full of disco anthems.

Friday saw Fatboy Slim deliver an energetic performance that had the crowd dancing long into the evening, while Saturday belonged to Snow Patrol, whose show sold out weeks in advance.

The successful run of concerts once again demonstrated why Forest Live remains one of the region's most popular summer music events, attracting thousands of music fans to the unique woodland venue.
