PARENTS and children alike found something special to make them smile on Friday night at Camp Bestival.

Veterans Squeeze united the generations with a solid set at dusk. Accomplished musicians Glenn Tilbrook and Chris Difford brought us a set list mixing their oldest and newist hits, appropriately including ‘Happy Days’ and its lyrics about hazy days of summer.

Famous favourites ‘Up the junction’, ‘Tempted’, ‘Cool for Cats’ and ‘Take Me I’m Yours’ got everyone dancing and singing along and were a perfect fit for the relaxed weekend atmosphere.

A conga line even broke out during ‘Slap and Tickle’, winding between the maze of picnic blankets and sleeping babes-in-arms.

Tasters of the band’s latest album, ‘From the cradle to the grave’ brought their mellow show up-to-date, right in time for modern popstar Jess Glynne to wow her young fans.

The tranquil blue-sky backdrop of Camp Bestival - a fab friendly festival where bubbles rather than beer cans fill the air - erupted into life as the auburn haired singer strutted on.

Suddenly, the little ones were wide awake and on their parents’ shoulders, bedecked in glowsticks, to worship one of Britain’s hottest stars.

Kicking off with ‘Don’t be so hard on yourself’, Glynne kept the audience up way past bedtime with this and similarly sweet, catchy anthems with positive and empowering messages.

Hits ‘Rather Be’, ‘Ain’t Got Far to Go’ and ‘Hold My Hand’ followed, creating a perfect tweeny concert under the watchful eye of Lulworth’s historic castle.

Jess’s confidence commanding her first Camp Bestival showed she had grown up into a true performer.

A final rollicking drum roll closed her set and the masses turned towards their tents, no doubt looking forward to another day taking in this magical wonderland in the heart of Dorset.
