Rox-on-the-prom has been hailed a great success after thousands flooded into Bognor Regis for the music and arts festival.

More than 12,000 people packed the seafront to hear bands perform on five stages at the annual event which has been running for a decade.

For the first time Rox was a three-day event, with festivities kicking off on Friday and finishing with a grand fireworks finale which ended shortly before the heavens opened last night.

Revellers also enjoyed art exhibitions, a poets' corner, funfair and workshops of African and Brazilian dance, latin percussion and Indian music.

Joe Ross, of Perfect Records in Felpham, said: "The whole event was great and it was fantastic to have such a fabulous festival on our doorstep. The streets were packed. As far as the eye could see there were crowds.

"Everyone was determined to have a good time and the event went off without a hitch."
