Organisers of the Godiva Festival in Coventry hope the free event will attract visitors in their tens of thousands once more.

Last year, 125,000 people attended the three-day festival, which has activities planned from midday, and a number of bands playing later this evening.

Fun Lovin' Criminals headlined the main stage last night, and fans can expect to hear from The Wombats on the festival's second night tonight. Embrace will finish off the weekend tomorrow.
