Mayor Dave wrote: "A HUGE thank you to everyone who visited and to everyone who took part in whatever way over the River Festival weekend. Wonderful to see so many people of all ages having fun, right across the site. It's one of the country's biggest free family events, yet it still retains its unique character and community feel thanks to the efforts of so many local people and local groups.

And a big thanks to all those who are now making it all disappear!"
