SAFEGUARDING ADVICE: Please be aware that you may be photographed during this event! Our official photographers, local press staff, bands and indeed Joe Public with a camera phone will all be taking crowd shots and photos of the day so there is every possibility that you could be in a photo somewhere. If you see a photo of yourself or your family which you object to, you need to address the matter with the photographer directly. All our official press and media staff have been advised that they are obliged to discuss your concerns, but we cannot enforce this with anyone who does not have an official media pass.
